Benjamin Monteith v. Scot Tech Furniture Services Limited [2009] CSOH 21

Proof:- On 25 August 2005 the pursuer was injured in an accident sustained by him during the course of his employment with the defenders as a delivery driver. Liability was admitted by the defenders and the only issue at proof was whether the injury had rendered the pursuer unfit for heavy work throughout the period since the accident and had continued to cause him substantial pain or whether the pursuer had fully recovered within 3 months of the accident as contended by the defenders. Here the court considered the nature, extent and the effects of the injury to the pursuer's back in light of expert medical evidence led on behalf of both parties, and the level of damages to be awarded as a result.
