Insurance Informer: Mauritian Supreme Court awards unprecedent damages in a road accident claim

In the recent judgment of Moollan I. v Mosaheb M. & Ors 2023 SCJ 34, the Supreme Court of Mauritius awarded more than MUR 200 million to the claimant, who was involved in a road accident. The quantum of this award of damages is unparalleled in the jurisdiction for a claim of this nature.
