PC (Jersey) The claimant sought damages for personal injuries in the form of a neck strain acquired by working long hours for her employer. Negligence was admitted, but both parties appealed.
Held: There was no sufficient evidence that the substantial injury which followed her ceasing to work for the defendant was caused by the neglect. The company remained liable for the injury to the extent they admitted.
