- High Court
The application to adduce further evidence was dismissed because the s132 report had been before the Family Court and considered by the judge, the author's absence did not constitute a special reason to depart from the rule that appeals are rehearings on the record, and any necessity for oral evidence should have been addressed by adjournment at first instance.
