Hi all.
On Thursday, a barrister acting on behalf on my trade union law firm represented my personal injury claim against my former employer in a local court. In the email from the law firm, they stated 'The judge noted the bracket was unhelpfully wide and that the Claimant's injury was ultimately an exacerbation of a pre-existing symptoms'.
I replied to them that they / the barrister hadn't used the 'Thin skull rule' (essentially, you take your victim as you find them, more below) that I had agreed with the previous claims handler months ago should be used if the defendants' solicitors tried this get-out. They replied with 'you cannot appeal the judge's decision, as you were informed prior to the hearing the judge's decision is final and not something we would appeal further'. My question here is can i appeal this, and what can I do, legally, if they did not use this extremely valid argument?
