Saade v Fruci

The Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia heard an appeal in the matter of *Saade v Fruci*. The dispute concerned an appeal against a judgment concerning damages for future economic loss arising from a collision.

The primary legal issue before the Full Court was whether the original judge had erred in their assessment of future economic loss. This involved a review of the evidence and the application of legal principles governing the calculation of such damages in negligence.

The Full Court found no error in the original judge's assessment. The court applied established principles for assessing future economic loss, considering factors such as the plaintiff's earning capacity, the impact of the injuries on that capacity, and the appropriate discount rate. The court was satisfied that the original judge had properly weighed the evidence and applied the correct legal tests.

The appeal was dismissed, and the appellant was ordered to pay the respondent's costs.
