Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court considered an appeal against the High Court's decision on enhancement of maintenance awarded by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT). The MACT had granted substantial compensation along with interest to the appellant for a motor accident claim, directing the insurance company to satisfy the award. The key issue was whether the High Court erred in its assessment of the compensation amount. The Supreme Court examined the facts and upheld the compensation awarded by the MACT, emphasizing the insurer's liability to satisfy the award promptly.
