Linda Henry v. Rentokil Initial plc, Captive [2008] CSIH 24

Reparation - Appeal from the Sheriff Court:- On 12 January 2000, the pursuer was injured while working as a nurse in the National Health Service at Canniesburn Hospital. The pursuer's injuries were caused by the negligence of an employee of the defenders for which they were vicariously liable and the issues at the proof before the Sheriff and on appeal related to quantum only. The Sheriff awarded a total of £315,306.45. The defenders challenged the award under each head of claim. The pursuer cross-appealed on the failure by the sheriff to award £24,191 as damages for loss of pension plus interest. Here the court considered both aspects of the appeal.
