The appeal is dismissed: the Court held that the accuser's low credibility is a relevant factual matter for the compensatory assessment of general damages and that the Court of Appeal was entitled to reduce the trial awards accordingly; aggravated damages are not available to a corporate plaintiff and were not made out for the individual plaintiff on the evidence.
