STONE AND ANOTHER
The Court, in this case, sees no need to reserve judgment. We have had the matter very fully discussed before us and, indeed, it is in a very short compass. We have also had opportunity for some consultation over the adjournment and we have heard again this morning some of the matters which we have had an opportunity of considering through the evening.
The Court sees no reason, having heard and considered these arguments, to disturb any of his Honour's findings of fact, nor to set aside any of the courses which his Honour took, founded upon those findings of fact.
That means that we do not see any reason to disturb the apportionment of responsibility for what happened to the plaintiff which his Honour made, or his apportionment of the damages.
In the result, therefore, we think that each appeal should be dismissed and that the cross appeal should be dismissed, in each case with costs. That will be the order of the Court.
