Quantum Care Ltd & Anor v Modi [2023] EWCA Civ 171 (21 February 2023)

The appeal was dismissed because the trial judge was entitled to find, on the evidence, that the claimants had not proved that the defendant made actionable misrepresentations with the meanings alleged, or that such meanings were intended or understood. The judge's findings were adequately reasoned when the judgment and post-trial amplification were read together, and there was no material error or failure to consider relevant evidence justifying appellate intervention.
