The court held that the plaintiff's self-discharge did not reduce recoverable damages because her ultimate recovery was not worsened by that conduct; extra nourishment claims and bonesetter's fees were recoverable under Hong Kong standards and s.3 of the Application of English Law Ordinance; damages were quantified accordingly (general damages $15,000; future loss $2,400; special damages total $2,725), interest and costs ordered.
