单词 Loss of expectation of life
释义 預計壽命的損失
A head of non-pecuniary damages awarded as to the reduction of an accident victim’s life expectancy, which may be compensated under this head of damages as a complete loss of pleasure of living: H West & Son Ltd & Anor v Shepard [1964] AC 326 (HL). Damages for loss of expectation of life has been abolished, but if the injured person’s expectation of life has been reduced by the injuries, the court, in assessing damages in respect of pain and suffering caused by the injuries, shall take account of any suffering caused or likely to be caused to him by awareness that his expectation of life has been so reduced: Law Amendment and Reform (Consolidation) Ordinance (Cap 23) s 20A; VSL Engineerings (Hong Kong) Ltd & Anor v Yeung Wing [1981] HKLR 407 (CA); Wong Sai Chuen (Dec’d) v Tam Mei Chun [1983] HKLR 331. It does not include damages in respect of loss of income. In the case of a fatal accident, in order to offset the impact of the abolition of an award of damages for loss of expectation of life in the fatal accident, s 4 of the Fatal Accidents Ordinance (Cap 22) was amended to specifically allow damages for bereavement. See also Assessment of damages; Life expectancy; Non-pecuniary loss.
因減少意外受害者的預計壽命而獲補償的非金錢上損害賠償項目,可在此損害賠償項目下作為完全失去生活情趣的補償:H West & Son Ltd & Anor v Shepard [1964] AC 326 (上議院)。就預計壽命的損失而追討的損害賠償已被廢除,但如受傷害者的預計壽命因該傷害而減短,則法院在評定因該傷害導致的疼痛及痛苦的損害賠償時,須考慮到受傷害者知道自己的預計壽命已減短時對其所導致或相當可能導致的任何痛苦:《法律修訂及改革(綜合)條例》(第23章)第20A條;VSL Engineerings (Hong Kong) Ltd & Anor v Yeung Wing [1981] HKLR 407(上訴法院);Wong Sai Chuen (Dec’d) v Tam Mei Chun [1983] HKLR 331。它不包括關於收入損失的損害賠償。如涉及致命意外的案件,為了抵銷廢除補償致命意外中就預計壽命的損失而追討的損害賠償,《致命意外條例》(第22章)第4條因而被修訂,並明確地准許可就親屬喪亡之痛追討損害賠償。另見 Assessment of damages; Life expectancy; Non-pecuniary loss。
