Master found injuries equated to the serious injury category (not substantial) with extensive disfiguring scarring but no functional disability; applied comparative authority CHUN YAT NAM for general damages and CHU TIK KWAN for a separate cosmetic award (adjusted for inflation), accepted some psychological treatment but rejected extreme prognoses, allowed quantified special damages (including parents' loss of earnings calculated per Donnelly), deducted interim payment, awarded interest at specified rates and reserved future operations and loss of future earnings.
