    Citation
    TCWF v. LKKS
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV166/2012

    Two accountant letters were admitted into the appeal bundle on a non-agreed basis because, on the material before the Court, they appeared to be summaries of evidence already before the trial judge and not new expert evidence; by contrast, the Petitioner's applications to admit fresh financial statements (including the Bertelli statement) and the Brown Envelope documents were refused because they constituted fresh evidence which did not satisfy Ladd v Marshall, risked re-opening factual disputes, would disrupt the appeal, and raised reliability concerns.
