Description
This package enables practitioners to carry out complex damages calculations quickly and easily, saving time and gaining certainty in every calculation. It helps anyone involved in personal-injury litigation to make accurate calculations in areas of immediate concern, such as the calculation of multipliers and interest calculations. The package endorses the Duxbury approach, thus taking account of such factors as the incidence of tax. It also contains an Ogden table to find life expectancy. Extensive explanatory notes, available at the touch of a button, accompany each calculator. These explain the legal principles behind each calculation, make references to authorities and indicate when each calculation should be used.
