It does not appear to us, from the materials
before the Court, that there is an appeal as of right in
this case. Further, we do not think that it is a case in
which we should give special leave to appeal, and the
application for that order is therefore dismissed.
We are not to be taken as giving general
approval to the terms in which the learned trial Judge
expressed himself in directing the jury on the question
of future economic loss.
The respondent here did not file any
objection to the competency of the appeal and that brings
into play Order 70, rule 8(2). That provides: "If
notice of objection has not been so given but nevertheless
the appeal is afterwards dismissed by the Court.as
incompetent, the respondent shall not, unless upon special
grounds the Court otherwise orders, receive any costs of the
appeal, and the Court may order that he pay to the
appellant any costs of the appeal proving useless or
unnecessary",
In this case Mr. Sullivan has made
application for special leave to appeal, which has been
dismissed and normally the application would be dismissed
with costs, which would be the burden imposed upon the
applicant. In the circumstances of the case the Court
is of the opinion that no order for costs. should be made
at all.
The order of the Court is that this appeal
is dismissed as incompetent and the application for
special leave to appeal is dismissed. No order as to
costse
