About this site

disinterest.co.uk (this site) is a personal project of Anthony Searle, a barrister in independent practice. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Serjeants' Inn Chambers or any other organisation.

This site provides a calculator for estimating pre-judgment interest on damages in clinical negligence and personal injury claims in England and Wales. It is made available free of charge.

No legal advice

This site is a calculation tool only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, and you should not treat it as such. The output of the calculator is provided for general reference purposes and should not be relied upon without independent verification.

No guarantee of accuracy

Although reasonable care has been taken in developing this calculator, no representation, warranty or guarantee is given that the calculations produced are accurate, complete or current.

In particular:

The Special Account Rate applied by the calculator reflects rates published by the Court Funds Office. There may be a delay between publication of a new rate and its incorporation into the calculator.
The calculator uses the ACT/ACT day-count convention and may produce results that differ from calculations performed using other conventions.
The appropriate start date, end date, rate and methodology for any given claim will depend on the specific facts and applicable law. This calculator does not assess or account for those matters.

You are solely responsible for verifying any calculation before relying on it in legal proceedings or otherwise.

This includes, without limitation, liability for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, wasted expenditure, or any indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
