- Court of Appeal
The application for leave to adduce further evidence was dismissed because the proposed evidence was not fresh or cogent and was irrelevant to the narrow issue on appeal (the correctness of the High Court's finding of incapacity and appointment of a litigation guardian); the appellant could and should have sought cross-examination of the psychiatrist in the High Court; and the other material sought to be admitted either related to settled prior proceedings or did not bear on the capacity issue.
