Collett J in Wittich v Twaddle (1979) Civil Jurisdiction No. 117). Ground CJ applied a conversion rate of two dollars to the pound. This rate was not based solely on the actual exchange rate of the two currencies or an average over a period of time; but took into account what was perceived then as "the marked difference" in the cost of living between Bermuda and the UK. As this rule is routinely followed and was not disputed, I do not intend to depart from it. I would only comment that it seems to me to be a rule of practice rather than of law and might be ripe for review. The award for general damages comes to $13,000.

Kingate Management Ltd. [2015] Bda LR 86 and the references which he made in that Judgment in respect of the construction of a contract. Mr. Justice Hellman quoted Lord Neuberger in the case of Arnold v. Britton and others [2015] UKSC 36. When giving the Judgment of the Supreme Court, Lord Neuberger, at paragraph 19, sought to emphasise seven factors to take into account in the interpretation of contractual provisions. I set out the first four which are relevant here.
