| Abstract: | The most important legislative initiative in the field of Tort Law during 2010 was the publication of the White Paper on civil damages for death and personal injuries, containing proposed amendments to the Civil Code and two new pieces of subsidiary legislation, viz Regulations on Assessment of Damages for Death or Incapacity (the 'Liquidation of Damages' rules) and Regulations on Damages for Loss of Earnings (the 'Scale of Disabilities' rules). The highlights of the proposed legislation are (a) the introduction of non-pecuniary damages for death and personal injury and (b) a higher degree of predictability in the assessment of damages.
