Spasic v T R Savage & Son Pty Ltd

The appeal concerned a dispute between the appellant, Spasic, and the respondent, T R Savage & Son Pty Ltd, regarding damages. The matter was heard in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the quantum of damages awarded to the appellant was appropriate. There was no dispute as to liability, and the appeal focused solely on the assessment of compensation.

The Court of Appeal considered the evidence presented and the principles governing the assessment of damages. It was satisfied that the trial judge had correctly applied these principles and had not made any errors in the calculation of the award. The court found no reason to interfere with the original assessment.

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