RADIANT INSURANCE COMPANY LTD v NIYONAGIZE
Damages for loss of earnings cannot be awarded to a claimant who fails to prove actual employment at the time of the accident; only demonstrable losses are compensable. The High Court set aside the lower court's award for loss of earnings, upheld the award for pain and suffering at the agreed amount, and confirmed the calculation of medical and related expenses based on judicial discretion.
