The degree of non-economic loss is to be assessed in accordance with this part.
The compensation payable for non-economic loss is divided into two equal amounts. The formula to calculate the total payable in an individual case is:
$ Total=A + B
WHERE A=the percentage assessment of total permanent impairment, multiplied by the first half of the maximum
AND B=a reasonable percentage of the second half of the maximum, having regard to the non-economic loss suffered.
To calculate B, the following tables in this part are used:
Table 1 — Pain and Suffering
Table 2 — Loss of Amenities
Table 3 — Other Loss
Table 4 — Loss of Expectation of Life
Table 5 — Combined Value Calculation
Table 6 — Final calculation
