Damages – Personal injury. The claimant suffered with non-freezing cold injury to his feet sustained while engaged on exercises, with unsuitable footwear, during his employment with the defendant. He was awarded damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity and for future loss of earnings calculated by reference to the Ogden Tables. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, allowed the defendant's appeal. The award for general damages was upheld but, while the finding that the claimant was disabled as a result of his injuries was correct, his loss of future earnings should not have been calculated by reference to the Ogden Tables and should have been calculated by reference to established common law principles.
