Um hi
this doesnt usually go down this route and so we would only be able to answer generally.
You sit back and enjoy it - as the main principle here is subrogation and is explained here
https://iedunote.com/subrogation-principle
dates from a common law case 1828 I think ( Preston v Someone)
read the article - you have been paid off and so you have no rights
and that answers most of the questions in the paragraph
Assuming perission to appeal is granted....
I have just read a case on addition of evidence
and whether an appeal case is just another run of the first 100m dash - and the general principle is that it is an appeal on Law
there are rules on admission of evidence AFTER in the first case the judge says "OK that is it - anything else either of you?"
and - or in the appeal court
generally you have to persuade the judge of a good reason it was not admitted the first time round ( like no one knew about it - doesnt apply here) - and my lawyer ( in your case one of my lawyers) was a twit does NOT apply
The principle here is deeble deeble deeble finis ad litem
[ or as Judge Judy would say - ya godda call a halt to legal cases somewhere or else we would do nothing else - get outta here!]
The priciple of "there has to be an end of this [somewhere]" is also present in the idea of res judicata ( the thing decided - if you are always 'at it' then nothing is ever decided )
sorry I havent had breakfast
so will it all be played out again ?
no only on certain grounds that the barrister should have said at hte original hearing....
No you have lost your independent witness
a pity but not surprising she didnt turn up "oops I am sorry I am SO late " is NOT accepted see principles above
If she turned up then the transcript of her oral evidence would be preferred to a second go
Last para is covered by the principle of subrogation and you cannot, having been paid off insist on anything at all.....
The reason why you have been 'confused' is that none of the lawyers wanted to say 'shut up ! it is none of YOUR business now WHAT we do...'
wander around this site
I think we have had - under what circs can I add evidence at the end of a case....
No guarantees about the quality of this advice
as divebuddy once wrote
if you believe his advice on anything at all
you are crazy
( good exclusion statement huh ?)
if you gonna read about this
any starter book on Insurance Law ( something like Principles of Insurance Law) and a book on civil procedure ( which I can guarantee is terribly boring) is a good start
and it sounds as tho you have time on your hands
