Quantifying damages for dependants—apportioning damages and disregarding financial or other benefits

Apportioning damagesAlthough all of the dependants’ claims are brought before the court in a single action, this is done for the sake of procedural/administrative convenience. Each dependant has an individual claim and this means that you will need to calculate their losses independently.Given the fact that multipliers can vary depending on the circumstances of both the deceased and the dependant, the appropriate multiplier may vary between different dependants.What approach will the court take?Usually, a fatal accident claim is brought under both the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934 (LR(MP)A 1934) and the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 (FAA 1976). CPR 41.3A means that whenever there is a single sum of money awarded by the court or agreed between the parties in settlement of the case, the court must apportion the damages where there is a claim under:•FAA 1976 and LR(MP)A 1934—the court must apportion the money between the different claims•FAA 1976 and it is made by or on behalf of more than one person—the court must apportion the money between the...

If administrators of a policyholder did not notify insurers of a claim against the policyholder within the 28-day time limit stated in the policy, can insurers reject cover?

If administrators of a policyholder did not notify insurers of a claim against the policyholder within the 28-day time limit stated in the policy, can insurers reject cover? It is assumed that the claim would otherwise trigger cover under the insurance policy and that it is a liability insurance policy. Under a liability insurance policy, a notification clause is framed as a condition precedent to indemnity under the policy, to allow insurers to investigate the claim at an early stage. In the absence of a clause allowing for extended reporting of claims notifications, an insurer can rely on a breach of a condition precedent to deny liability, regardless of whether insurers have suffered any prejudice. See Practice Note: Liability insurance—notification of claims and circumstances and defence of claims. It should be noted that the purpose of section 11 of the Insurance Act 2015 relates to terms that define the risk as a whole, and it is to prevent insurers from relying on a breach unconnected to the...

Where a worker’s pay is not in compliance with National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates, can the worker bring a claim in the employment tribunal and also make a complaint to HMRC for enforcement proceedings against their employer? If the worker’s claim involves a cause of action in addition to their claim for statutory underpayment of wages, would they be able to pursue the claim for underpayment separately via HMRC enforcement, and proceed just with their employment tribunal claim in respect of the other, non-NMW-related, claim(s)?

If a worker has not been paid the national minimum wage: • the worker can enforce their entitlement by way of their contract by making a claim for breach of contract or a claim for unlawful deduction from wages • HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) can enforce the worker's entitlement by issuing a notice of underpayment or suing on the worker's behalf For further information, see Practice Note: National minimum wage, in particular the main sections dealing with Consequences of failure to pay and Enforcement...

No reliance on advice meant that claim for damages for negligence failed (Darcliffe Homes v Glanville Consultants)

Construction analysis: The Technology and Construction Court (TCC) dismissed a claim for damages for professional negligence by a property developer against a consultant engineer after finding that the engineer had failed to act with reasonable skill and care, because the property developer had not relied on the advice given and would not have done anything differently had non-negligent advice been given. The court held that the property developer had failed to establish a sufficient nexus between a particular element of the harm for which it sought damages and the subject matter of the engineering company’s duty of care.
