Court found the plaintiff suffered permanent neurological impairment causing cognitive deficits which were the primary cause of academic and employment failures; the plaintiff's choice to follow treatment with Dr Chan was reasonable and not a failure to mitigate; damages were assessed on agreed and court-determined heads, reduced by 15% contributory negligence and adjusted for an interim payment of HK$200,000, resulting in an award of HK$3,036,012 against the 1st and 2nd defendants.
