McConnell v Police Authority for Northern Ireland [1997] IRLR 625
1997

Lord Chief Justice Carswell
Employment, Damages
An award of aggravated damages should not be an extra sum over and above the sum which the Tribunal of fact considers appropriate compensation for the injury to the claimants feelings, and that aggravated damages should not be treated as an extra award which reflects a degree of punishment of a respondent for its behaviour. The right course was to arrive at a figure which included whatever sum was thought to be appropriate by way of aggravated damages in order to reflect the sum for injury to feelings.

McMullin v ICI Austalia Operations Pty Ltd (1997) 72 FCR 1
1997

Wilcox J
Damages
ICI had developed an insecticide for cotton plants whose active ingredient was CFZ. It was common for cattle to graze on cotton stubble. A number of cattle became contaminated with CFZ in this way, and it was suspected that other cattle, whose owners had bought cotton plants treated with CFZ, might have become contaminated. Held. The court divided the claimants into seven categories. The first four categories were claimants who owned, or had in their possession, cattle which became contaminated, or those who had bought cattle, or meat, after it had become contaminated. A fifth category was claimants whose cattle were not in fact contaminated but were placed in detention because of a belief (erroneous in the event) that they were or may be infected. The phrase "cattle trail" was used to refer to the link connecting each of the first four categories of claimant (contaminated cattle or meat). The fifth claimants did not recover because that link was missing.

Friends' Provident Life Office v Hillier, Parker May and Rowden [1997] QB 85
1997
CA
Auld, Saville and Rose LJJ
Damages
Friends Provident had participated in a development project on terms which required it to pay its share of the development costs as it proceeded. It employed Hillier Parker, a firm of surveyors, to check demands made from time to time for payment of its share of development costs. Friends Provident paid the developer its share of costs, as demanded, on the recommendation of Hillier Parker. There had been included, wrongly, an item described as 'notional interest'. Friends Provident were unable to recover sums paid as notional interest from the developer and sued Hillier Parker for damages for negligence by reference to those sums paid. Hillier Parker then instituted third party proceedings against the developer. It sought contribution on three bases, namely (1) Friends Provident had paid the notional interest to the developer under a mistake of fact or for no consideration and the latter was liable to repay it, (2) the developer's receipt of the notional interest was in circumstances such as to constitute it a trustee of those sums and (3) the developer's application for payment of notional interest was in breach of an express or implied term of the development agreement. The developer successfully applied to strike out the third party proceedings. Hillier Parker appealed. Held: If two parties were both liable they could claim contribution from each other under the section even though the liabilities might be under different heads. The Act enabled contribution to be claimed in those circumstances.
Auld LJ considered whether a claim for restitution by Friends Provident against the developers would be a claim in respect of the same damage alleged by Friends Provident against Hillier Parker: "In my judgment, despite the distinction between a claim for restitution and one for damages, each may be a claim for compensation for damage under sections 1(1) and 6(1) of the Act of 1978. The difference between asking for a particular sum of money back or for an equivalent sum of money for the damage suffered because of the withholding of it is immaterial in this statutory context, which is concerned with "compensation" for "damage." The purpose and effect of the Act were to provide for contribution beyond that of joint tortfeasors for which section 6 of the Law Reform (Married Women and Tortfeasors) Act 1935 had previously provided. The contribution is as to "compensation" recoverable against a person in respect of "any damage suffered by another" "whatever the legal basis of his liability, whether tort, breach of contract, breach of trust or otherwise." It is difficult to imagine a broader formulation of an entitlement to contribution. It clearly spans a variety of causes of action, forms of damage in the sense of loss of some sort, and remedies, the last of which are gathered together under the umbrella of "compensation." The Act was clearly intended to be given a wide interpretation . . ."

Judge Peter Clark
Employment, Damages
An Industrial Tribunal can award damages for injured feelings on a complaint of action which fell short of a dismissal. Held: Judge Peter Clark said: "It is nothing to the point that an award for injury to feelings cannot be recovered in a wrongful dismissal or unfair dismissal claim. They are different claims, compensated in different ways. We do not accept that a complaint under section 146(1) of the Act of 1992 can simply be categorised as less serious and therefore cannot allow of a head of compensation not provided for in claims of unfair dismissal or wrongful dismissal. Apart from the different wording of the section, the intention behind it is clear; an employee who is unfairly dismissed would normally suffer pecuniary loss, and that, Parliament has decided, will adequately compensate him for the wrong. In a case of action short of dismissal it may very well be that he can point to no pecuniary loss; nevertheless, Parliament has decided that he should be able to recover financial compensation "having regard to the infringement complained of". That must, in our judgment, include injury to his feelings occasioned by the unlawful act."

Transport, Police, Damages, Personal Injury
A Police officer being carried in a force helicopter, and operating within his own force's area was not on a matter of international carriage, and was not subject to the restrictions on recovery of damages. The helicopter had crashed into a building and he lost his life.
Lord Hope considered the Convention noting the width of article 1(1) which applies "to all international carriage of persons, baggage or cargo performed by aircraft for reward", and said: "But the starting point is the generality of effect indicated by the use of the word "all". The nationality or place of business of the carrier is irrelevant, as all carriers who undertake international carriage, as defined in article 1(2), of passengers, baggage or cargo by the aircraft are bound by the Convention. There is nothing in the Convention to indicate that the purpose for which the passenger, baggage or cargo was on the aircraft has any bearing on the question whether the Convention applies.
In my opinion the Convention agreed at Warsaw, as amended at the Hague, was intended to be, and is, capable of accommodating changes in the practice of airlines and aircraft operators with regard to the purposes for which aircraft are used to carry people and goods, and in the contractual arrangements in pursuance of which people and goods are carried by air for reward."

Land, Contract, Landlord and Tenant, Damages
The defendant appealed an award of £11,000 damages for unlawful eviction of his tenant. The tenant had found herself unable to pay the rent and had given notice to quit. She was then told to leave immediately. The judge awarded statutory damages under section 27 representing the difference between the vacant possession value of the property and the tenanted value of the property. Held: The court took account of an oral agreement to surrender an assured shorthold tenancy, relied on by the landlord, in assessing damages for unlawful eviction. "The valuation under section 28(1)(a) of the Housing Act 1988 must include a valuation of the occupier’s “right to occupy” immediately before the unlawful eviction. That is necessarily based upon an analysis of her right, whatever her intention on that day may have been."

Commonwealth, Insurance, Damages, Costs
(New Zealand) Proceedings had been instituted in five causes of action against a company and its director, whose costs were both covered by an insurance policy, and in the case of one of the causes of action against a third person not so covered. All the defendants were represented by the same lawyers. It was common ground that costs not relating in any way to the insured director's defence would not be covered, while costs exclusively related to the insured director's defence would be covered. The issue which arose was as to defence costs which related at one and the same time to the defence both of the claim against the insured director and of the claim against the uninsured third person. The courts below took the view that there should be an apportionment. Held: The relevant insurance. This covered "all loss . . which such officer has become legally obligated to pay on account of any claim made against him . . for a wrongful act". Since this wording would cover the whole costs incurred in the defence where the insured officer was the sole defendant, the Board saw no reason why it should not cover them all, where some of them related also to the defence of an uninsured co-defendant.

Personal Injury, Damages
The claimant sought leave to appeal against the refusal of an award of special damages. The claim had mounted spectacularly, but he had failed to provide evidence as directed to support the claim. Held: Even at the time of the application, the claimant had still not complied with the order, but denied it: "the Judge was perfectly entitled to regard the breach of the unless order as of sufficient seriousness to warrant the imposition of the sanction of dismissal. He did not proceed immediately to take that view. He correctly looked at the further attempt made to cure the defect, but he was satisfied it was insufficient. He gave the plaintiff every opportunity to seek the further indulgence of the court by seeking an extension of time, but, as he pointed out, there was no summons issued by the plaintiffs in which they sought such an extension of time. There was no affidavit to explain their failures, even though they were clearly capable of filing affidavits."

Damages, Contract
The plaintiffs contracted for the delivery and installation of equipment by the defendant. After delays and defects the claimants sought damages. The defendants said that the contract provided that any liabiity for consequential losses was to be limited to the value of the contract. Held: The appeal failed. The cases had already settled the meaning of the phrase 'consequential loss' and "once a phrase has been authoritatively construed by a court in a very similar context to that which exists in the case in point, it seems to me that a reasonable businessman must more naturally be taken to be having the intention that the phrase should bear the same meaning as construed in the case in point. It would again take very clear words to allow a court to construe the phrase differently." In this case: "the parties simply agreed to limit the defendants' liability for loss and damage not directly and naturally resulting from the defendants' breach of contract to an amount equal to the value of the contract.
