Appeal Due (In $25,000 Eye Award Solicitors for the defendant in an Ontario Supreme Court dam- age action in which a 20-year-old Port Hope youth was awarded $25,000 for loss of an eye, have filed notice of appeal. Roger Wigmore of RR 3, Port Hope, infant plaintiff, was bene- ficiary of the judgment deliv- ered Jan. 22 at the winter as- sizes in Whitby by Mr. Justice Edson L. Haines. : The judgment was against James David Kenny, 62, of Port Hope, driver of a car in- volved in a head-on collision on Highway 2 in Port Hope a year ago. Wigmore, a passenger in the other car driven by Roger Harness, 22, of Port Hope, was injured in the accident and lost sight of his left eye which ne- cessitated its removal. Kenny's solicitors, James Clarke of Cobourg and W. D. Bark of Peterborough, repre- senting the Co-operators Insur- ance Association, claim the trial judge, in assessing damages, did not take into consideration the future earning possibilities of the infant plaintiff and that the award "was so high that it was a wholly erroneous esti- mate" of the damage suffered by Wigmore. Terence V. Kelly represented the infant plaintiff. Mr. Kelly, during the dam- age trial, said Wigmore lost his job as a punch-press operator at General Motors of Canada Limited in Oshawa after he lost sight in the eye. : Wigmore said he 'had been earning between $90 and $110 at GM but was now only mak- ing $55 a week as a clerk in a Canadian Tire Corporation store in Port Hope.
