Master found that the calcaneum fracture warranted PSLA of HK$250,000 but the plaintiff returned to work and a subsequent unrelated stroke caused cessation of work; plaintiff elected not to seek further employment after recovery so there is no compensable future loss or earning capacity loss attributable to the foot injury. Calculated pre-trial loss and special damages yield a total below amounts already received; therefore no damages are payable and the action is dismissed.
