Liability having been admitted, the Court assessed damages by accepting expert evidence under s45 Evidence Act, fixed life expectancy at 23 years for lump-sum assessment, awarded RM300,000 general damages and specific sums for agreed special and future items while disallowing items deemed normal child expenses or unsuitable, and limited caregiver assistance to one live-in maid plus periodic trained nurse; mitigation does not compel use of cheaper public facilities over best treatment.
