The grounds of appeal, and the oral submissions on behalf of the Appellant
The grounds of appeal, and the oral submissions on behalf of the Appellant
There are 13 grounds of appeal. Several of them contain sub-grounds. One of them, Ground 6, has 11 sub-grounds. A number of them overlap. Mr Pennock developed and supplemented his grounds of appeal in oral argument. The essence of the grounds of appeal are that the judge failed to take account of, and/or failed to give sufficient weight to, and/or failed to give adequate reasons in respect of his findings about, certain aspects of the evidence that were relevant either to the cyclospora issue, or to the causation issue.
I will first set out the grounds of appeal and Mr Pennock’s arguments in relation to the cyclopora issue and I will then consider those grounds. I will then do the same in relation to the causation issue.
