High Court affirmed the Sessions Court: accepted respondents' evidence (documentary and viva voce) that the deceased contributed financially to parents (car payments and expenses) and earned SGD 2,838.16 monthly; applied the statutory multiplier of 16 for a deceased aged 30 or below under s7(3)(iv)(d) of the Civil Law Act 1956; held that unchallenged viva voce evidence and available documents suffice to establish funeral and special damages despite lack of precise pleadings or full documentary receipts; dismissed appellant's challenges and ordered appeal dismissed with costs.
