The appellants appealed a trial judgment that awarded them damages against two respondents for a serious assault but dismissed the action against several other respondents.
The appellants challenged the trial judge's findings of fact regarding the involvement of certain respondents, the assessment of damages, the refusal to award punitive damages, and the refusal to make a Bullock or Sanderson order for costs.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's findings of fact and holding that the damages and costs awards were within the trial judge's discretion.
