A claimant in England sought damages for personal injuries for an accident which had occurred in Greece. Although the law which decided liability was the law of Greece, the calculation of damages is a procedural issue, and in an English court was to be assessed according to English rules. The assessment of damages remained in principle a jury question, even though for many years the judge had undertaken the task.
