The court held that the contested portions of the witness statement were primarily inadmissible opinion evidence because they constituted a forensic accounting analysis beyond the lay witness's expertise and were not the kind of opinion permitted by s58(2) Evidence Ordinance; only those passages that were factual and within the witness's personal knowledge as identified in the Scott Schedule were admitted, and passages that were repetitive or intertwined with impermissible opinion were excluded.
