At the outset of the appeal, the appellant sought leave to file an Amended Notice of Appeal and adduce fresh evidence.
The court refused leave to add the first proposed ground of appeal regarding an increase in damages for injurious affection, and consequently refused the fresh evidence in support of it.
The court reserved its decision on the second proposed ground and its associated fresh evidence until after hearing argument on the appeal itself, as it was inextricably interwoven with an existing ground of appeal.
