‘In Jonathan Bevan v. Ministry of Defence [2025] EWHC 1145 (KB), Mr. Bevan, a soldier, sought damages for alleged negligent exposure to excessive noise during his participation in testing Ajax armoured vehicles with the Household Cavalry Regiment from 2017 to 2020. Although the Defendant conceded a breach of duty, the trial centred on causation. The claim was ultimately dismissed but provides a useful insight into the approach to causation in acoustic shock claims.’
