Pearson & Anor v Ahmed [2002] EWCA Civ 152 (8 February 2002)

The court found no basis to disturb the trial judge's assessment of damages, as the joint expert report did not support a greater award and no new evidence justified further disclosure or permission to appeal. The court lacked power to order the requested disclosure in this appellate context.
