Deductions from damages and mitigation of loss (LIVE WEBINAR)

This webinar looks at those matters that could reduce the damages a claimant receives in a personal injury case, looking firstly at deductions from damages (outside the CRU regime) and then at issues relating to mitigation of loss. 
 
Gordon Exall will cover:

• What is the position in relation to the deduction of benefits not subject to CRU?
• Are insurance payments deductible?
• What if the claimant is paid gratuitously?
• What if there are savings in living expenses? 
• What happens if the claimant’s tax position changes
• Does the court take account of an improvement in the claimant’s working conditions?

 
Looking at mitigation we consider:

• The “duty” to mitigate loss – is this a misnomer?
• Who should plead a failure to mitigate?
• When should a claimant plead a failure to mitigate?
• The burden of proof in mitigation of loss
• The consequence of a failure to mitigate
• Common issues of failure to mitigate loss in personal injury cases 
• The steps practitioners should take in relation to mitigation of loss
