Key Principle

Where a tort accelerates a pre-existing condition, damages are limited to the loss attributable to the period of acceleration (here the chronic pain syndrome was accelerated by about 7.5 years), and the court will rigorously scrutinise the credibility of the claimant and the independence and logic of expert evidence under CPR Part 35 before assessing quantum.
