Key legal question
Whether the valid income had to be determined from the bar business results or by table wages
Extracted holding
The valid income was correctly determined using LSE table wages; the business accounts did not provide a reliable basis for a more precise calculation.
Extracted reasoning
The available accounting and tax records did not allow a dependable assessment of earnings. The prior self-employment was of too short a duration, and the actual profits before and after the accidents were clearly below the table-wage-based value and did not make a contrary earnings development plausible.
