Robertson Or Macey-Lillie v Lanarkshire Health Board &C: OHCS 26 May 2000

Economic circumstances have not changed sufficiently yet to alter the rate of three per cent used when calculating damages in personal injury cases. Though the returns on government stocks had fallen the figure of two per cent was not yet appropriate, and lay within the range of returns contemplated when the original figures had been set.
