The Court of Appeal upheld the judge's factual findings that the comprehensive Otto Bock prosthesis package was reasonably necessary on the evidence and that the defendant had not established a positive case from the bank/credit transactions to negate pre-trial loss; the court adjusted only quantum where the judge's approach or arithmetic warranted correction (reduced loss of earning capacity from $500,000 to $360,000; increased pre-trial loss to $772,000; increased future loss to $793,800) and ordered no costs given de minimis net difference after contributory negligence.
