The "Damages: Tort" course was held from 19-21 October 2018 (Friday-Sunday) at The Everly Putrajaya. The objective of the course is to develop knowledge and skill in assessing damages in tort-related cases and judgments writing.

A total of 31 participants attended the course consisting of 14 High Court Judges and 17 Judicial Commissioners.

The course is divided into 3 sessions namely the individual assignment presentation session, group discussion session for case studies and group presentations. Topics for the individual assignment presentation have been reduced to six topics compared to ten topics in the previous series. The reduction of this topic is aimed at giving more time to speakers and participants to interact and explore the topics presented.

The next session is the group discussion for case study assignment. Participants were divided into five groups of five members each. Each group is given three case studies for discussion and presentation purposes. Each presentation of the case study was followed by a checklist presentation as a guide to the participants.
