[2009] EWCA Civ 609

An assessment of compensation for loss of liberty following a miscarriage of justice was remitted to the independent assessor for re-assessment where he had erred in law by failing to make proper use of the civil law awards for comparable torts and arrived at an award which was irrationally low.
