RT (AP) v Louise Thomson, [2013] CSOH 123, 16 July 2013

Proof: Quantum. Liability was admitted in this action for damages arising out of a road traffic accident. The pursuer sued for a number of heads of loss including soft tissue back injuries, PTSD, past and future wage loss. The pursuer was repeatedly criticised for being unreliable and incredible on a variety of areas of his evidence. Quantum was restricted to awards in relation to the losses which had been established. These included an award for solatium for a whiplash neck and back injury which was almost fully resolved at 3 months, in the sum of £2500.
