Paranomos v Pasialis

In *Paranomos v Pasialis*, the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Western Australia considered an appeal concerning damages for economic loss arising from part-time work. The specific nature of the dispute involved the assessment of these damages.

The central legal issue before the Full Court was whether the trial judge had erred in their assessment of economic loss, particularly in relation to the plaintiff's part-time employment. This involved a review of the principles governing the calculation of such losses in the context of the evidence presented.

The Court's reasoning focused on the proper application of established principles for assessing economic loss. It appears the Court found that the trial judge's assessment was not supported by the evidence or was otherwise flawed according to legal principles. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, indicating a departure from the original decision regarding the quantum of damages awarded.
