⚖️ What tends to weigh in cases like this
✅ Tends to be accepted
- The plaintiff argued that the decision to proceed with the assessment conference was legally unreasonable, illogical, and plainly unjust.
- The potential financial impact on the plaintiff if damages were awarded before a final determination by the LCS Authority would be substantial.
- The balance of convenience favored the plaintiff because the first defendant had been offered an advance payment and would either receive substantial damages or have future care costs covered by the Scheme.
❌ Tends to be rejected
- The defendant argued that the seriousness of the first defendant's injury justified proceeding with the assessment conference without delay.
