The appeal was dismissed because the defendants failed to satisfy the substantive conditions for admitting expert evidence: they produced no evidence or draft report demonstrating that font/printer analysis is a recognised forensic discipline (subject matter), the expertise condition need not be addressed once subject matter not satisfied, and the proposed expert evidence was not shown to be relevant to properly particularised pleadings on forgery; allowing the application would permit impermissible fishing for evidence.
