On the facts the appellant was permanently and totally incapacitated as a result of the injuries; special circumstances under section 9(1A) require applying 100% of the section 7 calculation; statutory minima increases are not retrospective so the applicable minima are those at the date of the accident; accordingly the appeal is allowed and the section 7 calculation of HK$104,680 is substituted for the lower award.
