29th July 2009
A VICTIM of school bullying in northern NSW has had his damages award increased by more than $16,000 to $484,766.
Last month in the NSW Supreme Court, Justice Elizabeth Fullerton awarded $468,736 to David Gregory, who had sued the State of NSW.
The now 30-year-old had complained of years of bullying while attending Farrer Agricultural High School at Tamworth in the 1990s.
He said the bullying led to behavioural problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder and symptoms of depression.
On Wednesday, the judge ruled he should also received $6,030 for past medical treatment and expenses, and $10,000 for future treatment.
She also ordered the State of NSW to pay the legal costs of Mr Gregory, who now lives in Mollymook on NSW's south coast.
