Murphy v Ministry of Defence
[2016] EWHC 3 (QB)
Key Principle
Even where a claimant satisfies the Ogden definition of 'disabled', an Ogden Table labour-market disadvantage award is not appropriate where the better measure of future loss is the difference between projected military earnings and actual civilian earnings, and no automatic 'X-factor' deduction should be made for the disadvantages of military life.
