- Case number
- CACV79/1987
The Court of Appeal set aside the trial judgment because the pleaded factual issues were not adequately canvassed at trial and the trial judge failed to ensure a fair and orderly presentation of the parties' cases given they were unrepresented; because of that procedural unfairness the appropriate remedy is to set aside the judgment and order a hearing de novo without the Court expressing final findings on contract enforceability or representations.
