Leave to appeal was refused because the intended appeal merely challenged credibility and findings of fact for which the trial judge gave adequate reasons; no palpable or overriding error was demonstrated and there was no arguable basis to disturb the judge's factual conclusions or the discretionary indemnity costs order.

Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV240/2014

The trial judge's findings that Propegal's authorised representative gave alternative payment instructions and that the plaintiff paid the balance accordingly were supported by coherent documentary and telephone evidence and credible witnesses; absent palpable error, misunderstanding of evidence, or a conclusion no reasonable judge could reach, the Court of Appeal will not overturn primary findings of fact; accordingly the appeal was dismissed.
