The appellants appealed a trial judgment finding them liable for extra-judicial efforts to shut down a restaurant and holding that they were not entitled to terminate the respondents' tenancy.
The appellants alleged bias on the part of the trial judge and substantive errors.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the threshold for bias was not met and the allegation was not raised at the earliest opportunity.
The court also upheld the trial judge's findings on the merits and confirmed the individual appellant's personal liability for tortious acts.
