DAMAGES FOR THE SELF EMPLOYED AND THOSE INVOLVED IN ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORT: WEBINAR 25th JANUARY 2024

On the 24th January there is a webinar looking at claims for damages for self-employed people. It also looks at the issues relating to losses, particularly loss of earnings, caused by those involved in sports and entertainment (it also looks at cases where the losses were suffered by solicitors and barristers…)  Booking details are available here.

THE WEBINAR

This webinar looks at the particular difficulties of acting for self-employed people who suffer loss of earnings due to injury, focussing on:

• The particular problems of the self-employed claimant
• When a claimant has not been fully declaring their income to the Inland Revenue
• The injured business owner
• The effect of a limited company
• Calculating net loss
• Pension losses and the self-employed claimant

The webinar then goes on to look at issues in claiming losses in cases where the injured claimant earns, or hopes to earn, a living through sports and entertainment,  looking at cases where damages have been awarded and when a claim for “loss of chance” has been found to be appropriate.

LOSS OF EARNINGS QUESTIONNAIRE

There is a detailed loss of earnings questionnaire aimed specifically at the self-employed claimant.
