LONGHURST & ANOR –V- HUNT

Judgment No 2

1 SHELLER JA: I agree with Stein AJA.

2 SANTOW JA: I agree with Stein AJA.

3 STEIN AJA: Since delivering judgment in this matter on 31 March 2004, and before the orders have been taken out, it has been drawn to attention that the court made no specific reference or adjustment to the damages for past economic loss.

4 It is plain from paragraph [80] that such an adjustment was intended to both past and future economic loss.

5 Accordingly, it is appropriate to make the orders sought by the appellant with the addition of the respondent having a certificate under the Suitors Fund Act 1951 with respect to the costs of the appeal.
