The English court dealing with a personal injury claim in respect of a road traffic accident that occurred in New South Wales had to apply English law to the assessment of damages as a matter of procedure to be regulated by the law of the forum under the Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995 s.14 and was not to apply the procedural provisions of the New South Wales Motor Accident Compensation Act 1999 limiting the amount of damages recoverable.
