1 On 1 September 2002, the Claimant, Kunal Lindsay, was riding a
motorcycle along the A44 road. The Defendant, driving a car in the
opposite direction, turned to the right in front of him. In the ensuing
collision, the Claimant suffered serious brain injuries. The
Defendant's insurers have admitted liability in full, and unless a
settlement is reached in the meantime, the issue of quantum is to be
tried on 26 February 2007. It is now common ground that as a result of
his injuries the Claimant will never work again. The damages awarded
are likely to be very substantial indeed.

Damages—Interim damages
The pursuer enrolled a motion for interim damages. He had suffered a motorbike accident which was the sole fault of the defender. He received injuries including a fractured skull and a severe diffuse concussional brain injury, suffering a change in personality, and other symptoms associated with head injuries as well as a fractured pelvis with associated pain and disability. The pursuer argued that the value of the claim for interim damages purposes should be £464,000 and sought an interim payment of £250,000 and the defender suggested the sum of £203,000 for the value of the claim and suggested an interim payment after deduction of the sum of £38,000 already paid, of £42,000. In holding that the value of the claim would not be less than £400,000 and assessing the interim payment at £162,000 after deducting the sum of £38,000 already paid the Lord Ordinary issued the following opinion on 1 July 2005.
