The appellants appealed a jury verdict that assessed their damages from a motor vehicle accident at zero dollars.
The self-represented appellant argued the trial judge failed to provide adequate assistance, specifically regarding the exclusion of medical consultation notes and limitations on expert testimony due to non-compliance with the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge reasonably balanced his duty to assist the unrepresented litigant with the need to ensure fairness to the defendants.
