Loss of consortium and services fails because the parties lived apart; estate cannot recover pain and suffering as deceased was likely unconscious until death; dependency and lost years claims are rejected for lack of reliable evidence of continued remittances and future earning capacity, and damages are limited to one year's wages, a conventional sum for loss of expectation of life, and funeral expenses totalling HK$31,410.
