The Plaintiff was a fare-paying passenger in a car owned by D1 and driven by D2. The car was involved in an accident during which the Plaintiff suffered left conjunctival irritation, multiple left ear lacerations which required stitc
hing, elbow bruises which continue to show scarring, residual chestpains and shoulder pains. The Plaintiff suffered pain for a week and suffers continuous headaches and continuing pain to the back of the head. She continues to require physiotherapy to les
s
en the shoulder backaches. The Plaintiff issued a writ alleging negligence and claiming damages for pain and suffering, loss of amenities, loss of earning capacity, costs, and interests. The Defendants failed to file a defence and the Plaintiff entered an
 interlocutory judgment.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid11085398\charrsid11085398  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15628887\charrsid11085398 
The Court set about assessing general and special damages. The Court discussed various awards of damages awarded for minor miscellaneous injuries. The Court found there was clearly some loss of amenities, which could pose obstacles for the Plaintiff}{

 The court must do its best to assess the effect that continuing headaches may have on work performance though to some extent speculation is unavoidable. In the light of decided cases, which are now considered q

\par 
\par She gave evidence of her special damages. She had transport costs for travel to Sigatoka Hospital, and to Korolevu for back massage on one occasion, dressing trips and hospital fees, in all amounting to $80. She has not lost any sal

\par The category of miscellaneous minor injury is not an easy area in which to arrive at a fair and just award. The court however has to do its best.
\par 
\par The Plaintiff in the case before me is to have the special damages about which she gave e
vidence. For a period of 4 weeks the Plaintiff suffered with pain, and still suffers daily headaches. These last will probably settle down in time, meanwhile they have to be endured and must make the task of concentrating at work more difficult. The scarr
ing on the elbow is significant, though minor. There is clearly some loss of amenities. If the headaches persist they may affect the Plaintiff}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid11085398 '}{

performance of the Plaintiff in her job. The court must do its best to assess this risk though to some extent speculation is unavoidable. I bear in mind that the cases cited were delivered in 1982 and 1985 and are therefore to be considered now quite old.
 Inflation over the years mean that any award today must be more generous. Additionally the Court of Appeal in the early 1990s often commented on the low level of awards in Fiji, recommending a more generous approach.
