Does anyone have a model answer on how courts would go about 'calculating an award of damages to X'. I'm looking for an actual model answer by the way not just a plan. Thanks in advance of anyone has one.

-Size of the risk (chance of it happening) Bolton v Stone -Characteristics of claimant (may require a higher duty of care) - Paris v Stepney Borough Council -Practical Precautions (no breach if they are taken - Latimer v AEC -Importance to take the risk (in public interest for example) - Watt v Hertfordshire County Council
This answer is a re-write of one that got 6/8. I added in all the recommendations made by my teacher to get full marks, though I do not know for sure if this would receive full marks.
The purpose of damages is to return the claimant to the position they would be in, had the negligent act not occurred. Damages are governed under the Damages Act 1996 and can be special and general. Special damages have a quantifiable sum attached to them, as in Jefford v Gee, and are easily worked out before a trial begins. In this case, Brian’s special damages would include the £400 cost of replacing his phone. General damages are calculated during the trial and include pain & suffering, loss of amenity and loss of future earnings. In this case, Brian may press for general damages to be awarded for the minor injuries that he suffered, where the courts may use the JSB guidelines to determine the amount, as well as the £6000 loss of potential earnings as a result of missing the call, perhaps with some damages for the emotional pain that was caused. The amount of damages will be decided by the court with the use of guidelines and presentation of evidence. Finally, the payment to Brian may be via a lump sum paid in one single payment, or as part of a structured settlement, however both Elaine and Brian must agree to this.

What would I use the caparo test for what type of question?
Explain how the law decides whether a duty of care has been breached, including how any two risk factors may affect the courts decision. Any tips on what to include in this answer

Ahhhh sorry guys I neglected the thread i wasn't getting no replies for like 2 days so I left it thanks for helping out guys :X Just done the exam pretty chuffed couple of curveballs thrown in for the civil side. The last question on the track that should be used. I reckon most people wrote small claims but small claims is only for personal injury up to £1,000 and in the scenario Tims solicitor said £3,000 so I believe multi track would be appropriate so I wrote it I checked with my teacher and she said its right I'm feeling very confident about this one mainly because I revised for like 3 weeks in advanced how did you guys do?
