The Judicial Studies Board for Northern Ireland has continued to update the position in relation to assessment of damages in Northern Ireland and this second edition of The Green Book is the result of the work carried out by a committee chaired by Lord Justice McCollum. The guideline figures are based on what are believed to be the rates currently used in negotiation and settlement of claims. The injury classifications are: injuries involving paralysis; orthopaedic injuries; head injuries; facial injuries; psychiatric damage; scarring to other parts of the body; injuries affecting the senses; damages to hair; injuries to internal organs; and dermatitis.
