Damages

17.4 Damages for Pain, Suffering and Loss of Amenity

17.4.1 Range of Awards continued

20. Another useful table has been produced by Simon Levene of 199 Strand which is calculated on the assumptions that (a) the highest level of award on 23rd March was £150,000 and is to be uplifted by one-third (b) there is no increase in awards that were worth up to £10,000 (though one should always re-calculate an old award to find its value as at 23rd March) and that the increase of 0% at £10,000 rises in a straight line to 331Ú3% at £150,000. Having done that calculation it will, in future, be necessary to update again for changes in the value of money as calculated by reference to the RPI. Again, I reproduce the table in full.
