Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases

by Judicial College, Mrs Justice Lambert DBE (Compiler), Lisa Sullivan (Compiler), Stuart McKechnie KC (Compiler), Steven Snowden KC (Compiler)

Overview

The Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages are designed to provide a clear and logical framework for the assessment of damages in personal injury cases. The first edition of this title was regarded as a landmark in personal injury practice. Each succeeding issue has built on this reputation and the book has now firmly established itself as essential reading for all those involved in the area of personal injury litigation. This new edition has updated the award figures to take into account the rise in inflation. The book also considers a small number of decisions concerning damages for sexual abuse, including image based abuse, since the previous edition. This book is edited by a working party of the Judicial College, under the chairmanship of The Hon. Mrs Justice Lambert DBE. The members of the working party are all lawyers and personal injury specialists: Stuart McKechnie KC, barrister; Steven Snowden KC, barrister; Lisa Sullivan, Master of the Queen's Bench Division; and Richard Wilkinson, barrister.
