What of the plaintiff’s residual earning capacity? He has not applied for any jobs, and there must be many areas of work from which he is not disabled. It may be that a more settled personality in years to come would permit employability in a wider area of types of employment. Further I must take into account the effects of the other ailments of which he has complained, which are not attributable to this accident and which have not been easily identified by the doctors.

Having identified a lorry driving annual earning capacity, albeit on a part-time basis that the plaintiff has lost of £10,000 net, I use that as a multiplicand for the future. He is 53 years of age, and would normally, following Wells v. Wells be able to seek a full multiplier marginally in excess of 9 for the balance of his working life, 9.4, 9.5 thereabouts. Taking account of the various matters that I have listed, it is necessary to reduce that multiplier, and I do reduce it to six years to reflect all of the matters that I have indicated. Consequently, the sum of money that I award the plaintiff for his future loss of earning capacity as a lorry driver I total in the figure of £60,000.
