ABSTRACT
Introduction The most important remedy in tort is damages, and questions involving damages for personal injury or death are often set by examiners. Such questions may take the form of a general essay or a problem question, in which details are given of the claimant’s salary and family responsibilities. In the latter type of question, candidates are not expected to produce detailed calculations of damages, but rather to indicate and discuss the particular heads of damage which are recoverable and how they would be calculated.
