Damages

Bird v Acorn Group Ltd [2016] EWCA Civ 1096, [2016] All ER (D) 92 (Nov)

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appellant’s appeal against a finding that the third column of Table 6B of CPR 45.29E, which covered the amount of fixed costs recoverable under the pre-Action protocol for Low Value Personal Injury (Employer’s Liability and Public Liability) claims, was applicable to his case. The court held that a disposal hearing listed for the quantification of damages payable after judgment under CPR 26, PD 12.2(1)(a) was a trial within the meaning of CPR 45.29E(4)(c).

Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close. Writing in NLJ this week, Julie Gowland and Barny Croft of Birketts examine how acts motivated by care—booking travel, completing paperwork, or offering emotional support—can still fall within the wide reach of the Suicide Act 1961
