Claimants witnesses
Claimants witnesses
I shall now consider the evidence of the Claimants’ witnesses. It is necessary, in order to keep the length of this judgment within reasonable bounds, to summarise some elements and to focus on the issues arising from the parties’ pleaded cases (although I will identify and deal with some matters which were raised during cross -examination of the Defendant’s witnesses which were not pleaded). As I have already stated I will weave in factual findings based on an assessment of all the evidence.
