The Court held the contested passages and Mr Swindon's expert evidence were admissible: the material comprised factual and industry observations rather than legal conclusions; retrospective opinions do not automatically render evidence inadmissible where they may give substantial help; valuation evidence by reference to Fletcher Challenge Energy share price is admissible notwithstanding complicating factors; weight and proof of relied facts under s25(3) remain matters for trial.
