SMIB - April 2010

Personal Injury Issue 38 - Graeme Watson

Welcome to the spring edition of SMIB. This month we report on new legislation that will increase damages in fatal claims, another claim arising out of an incident at a school, why shaking your fist at someone twice could land you in trouble, why commonsense can still win the day and the consequences of an unreasonable act by the claimant on their claim. We also highlight a recent court decision on the interpretation of the Freedom of Information Act.

If you would like more information about these or any other cases please contact me by telephone at our Edinburgh office or by emailing: graeme.watson@simpmar.com
