Yup they are the same
Hello,
BattleActs solution for part c) says that size of damage is capped at 100k for non-pecuniary as mentioned in Dav.Non Pec. Report says answer plaintiff could recover the full 10 milion.
Is this a mistake from the report?
I think the examiner's report is referring to a non-auto non-pecuniary damages, while the BA solution is referring to auto non-pecuniary damages
Hi, for part (b) sample answer 2 says "trust claims do not verify if plaintiffs have already been compensated, but trials do verify."
Doesn't the collateral source rule say "... need not to be entered AT TRIAL"?
Yeah - In any case, I do not think that wording is the main point that will get you marks here. Regardless of whether the trial verifies double compensation, the insured would still receive it
Just to confirm.
The 100k limit (with indexation) is only for Non - economic damage for AUTO Claims.
If it is not an auto claim, there is no limit for non - pecuniary damage?
