When leave is given to bring a proceeding under s.135A, it is in respect of "the injury" which was caused in compensable circumstances by the negligent conduct of the employer. True it is that a proceeding may only be brought if the injury is in its consequences a serious injury, but whatever the mechanism by which it is recognized as being a serious injury - whether it be a determination under sub-s.(3), the deeming effect of sub-s.(2DB), a consent issued under sub-s.(4)(a), or a grant of leave under sub-s.(4)(b) - the consequences of compensable injury in respect of which damages are recoverable are not delimited. So, for example, injury may be serious, when the relevant determination[12] is made, by reason of its pain and suffering impact. But that will not preclude the worker, at trial, seeking and recovering damages for later-ensuing loss of earnings or loss of earning capacity; or, indeed, for loss of earnings or loss of earning capacity which was present at time of determination of an application under sub-s.(2B) or at time of resolution of an application under sub-s.(4)(b), but which was not then such as constituted it a serious injury consequence.[13] So, once a proceeding is authorized, it is essentially a common law action of the ordinary kind, in which the plaintiff may seek and recover damages for all the consequences of compensable injury. That is so despite, for example, inhibitions upon the quantum of damages recoverable. It is a common law action upon a cause of action which is complete when once the negligent conduct is a cause of harm which is more than negligible;[14] but it is not limited to recovery of damages for the harm which meets the "more than negligible" test sufficient to make the cause of action complete. It is equally a common law action to which the Limitation of Actions Act applies.
