The chapters on future pecuniary loss and actuarial evidence have been completely re-written to take account of the important decision of the House of Lords in Wells v Wells, which has revolutionised the assessment of future pecuniary loss. The editors' expertise in both claimant and defendant practice is reflected in the balanced analysis provided in the looseleaf. It cannot be denied however that a comparison with the general run of previous awards will assist practitioners, insurers and others when they try to assess the sum likely to be awarded in a particular case, or want to fix what sum to pay into court or to accept if paid in by the other side.
