High Court affirmed the Sessions Court's 50:50 apportionment because conflicting mutually probable versions and lack of independent corroboration left the trial judge's finding unimpeachable; the court declined to disturb most quantum awards as not inordinately low or manifestly excessive, except it found omission of an award for pain and suffering from the spinal surgery to be an error and awarded RM50,000 for that head; life expectancy and one‑third contingency deduction were upheld and special damages were maintained on the evidence presented.
