Dhami v Kennedy
The plaintiff, Satinder Singh Dhami, had filed an action seeking damages for a motor vehicle collision. The collision had occurred when a Dodge Charger, driven by the plaintiff's brother, was T-boned by a Dodge Caravan operated by the defendant, James Kennedy. The defendant had admitted liability, and the plaintiff had discontinued the action against his brother. The main issue had been the extent of the plaintiff's injuries and their impact on his earning capacity. The plaintiff had claimed permanent injuries and had sought an award of approximately $800,000, while the defendant had argued for a much lower award of less than $60,000. In its decision, the Court had determined the following quantum of damages resulting from the defendant's negligence: Non-pecuniary Damages $ 75,000 Loss of Earning Capacity $114,000 Loss of Housekeeping Capacity $ 19,425 Costs of Future Care $ 13,290 Specials $ 995 Total $222,710
