The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, holding that the plaintiff's computer records were the best available and reliable evidence of the missing invoices, the defendant's failure to produce the invoices justified an adverse inference under Armory v Delamirie, and the plaintiff had discharged the persuasive burden; the judge below erred in rejecting the claim on hearsay grounds alone.
