Medical negligence appeal dismissed; trial judge made no errors in credibility, causation, or mitigation.
The appellant doctor appealed a trial judgment finding him liable for negligently administering a tetanus vaccine, which caused the respondent to develop a frozen shoulder and prevented her from working.
The appellant argued the trial judge erred in assessing credibility, applying the 'but for' causation test, and addressing mitigation of damages.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no reviewable errors in the trial judge's credibility findings, causation analysis, or conclusion that the appellant failed to prove mitigation was possible.
