The Judicial College Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases contains a distillation of the awards of damages that have been and are being awarded by courts throughout the UK in personal injury cases. Since the publication of the first edition in 1992, this book has been widely adopted as the starting point in negotiating levels of payment for general damages in personal injury cases.
