The appeal and the two New Evidence Summonses were dismissed because the proposed expert evidence was not necessary or sufficiently probative: the issues were primarily contractual construction and ascertainable facts or speculative contingent liabilities; the Ladd v Marshall requirements for new evidence on appeal were not met; admitting the evidence would cause unnecessary complication and waste; accordingly leave to adduce the expert evidence was refused and costs awarded to the successful parties.
