Join the upcoming seminar organised by Asia Pacific Institute of Experts (APIEx) titled 'Ex Ante and Ex Post Assessments of Damages – Crystal Balls vs. Rearview Mirrors?’ on 19 Sep, 2024, from 5pm to 6.30pm, at the MND Building. When quantifying damages that accumulate over an extended period—be it years, months, weeks or even just days—two crucial questions often come up: What information can be used in the assessment and how can we best convert a series of ongoing losses into a single lump sum? To address these questions, two principle methods are commonly used: the ex ante approach and the ex post approach. This seminar will compare and contrast these approaches.
