    "content": "practice, judges and magistrates have had the discretion to assess, with the help of doctors, the percentage of any harm suffered by a victim of a road accident. You will appreciate that there are different types of injuries that are suffered by victims as a result of a road accident. There are permanent injuries; there are minor injuries and there are soft tissue injuries. It is very dangerous if we move as legislators and legislate for the courts in as far as their discretion is concerned. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is proper that we leave the determination of the damages to be awarded in as far as injuries are concerned to the courts. Otherwise, if we move and accept this schedule, we will be making a fatal mistake and really prejudicing the victims. If you may look at number 40 on the schedule, you will find where it reads “General”. It says: “Except where otherwise expressly provided, the following conditions shall apply to all assessments in this schedule;- (a) Combination of two or more categories of injuries or disablement. Percentage for the most severe or dominant injury”."
