The appellants appealed a jury verdict finding them liable for damages arising from an incident involving allegations of dangerous driving and 'gay bashing'.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's jury instructions on reasonable and probable grounds, no unreasonableness in the damages award for income loss, and no error in the award of substantial indemnity costs due to late disclosure and the jury's acceptance of the 'gay bashing' element.
A cross-appeal regarding aggravated damages was also dismissed.
