Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) to determine compensation based on a fixed multiplier of 10 and an interest rate of 6% per annum, emphasizing the need for a structured approach in calculating entitlements in motor accident cases. The Court clarified the parameters for compensation, ensuring consistency in the application of the multiplier method. The deletion of the phrase regarding the MACT's entitlement calculation reflects the Court's intent to streamline the process.
