Cameron v Catic

The appeal in *Cameron v Catic* concerned a motor vehicle accident where the respondent admitted liability. The appellant sought damages, but the primary judge awarded only limited damages for out-of-pocket expenses and past care, rejecting the appellant's evidence in other respects. The appeal was heard by Bell P, Macfarlan and Payne JJA.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the primary judge erred in rejecting the appellant's evidence when assessing damages. This involved a review of the primary judge's findings regarding the credibility of the appellant's evidence.

The Court of Appeal found that the primary judge's rejection of the appellant's evidence was based on credit and was rational. There was no arguable basis to challenge the primary judgment. Consequently, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.

The appeal was dismissed with costs, and the summons for leave to appeal was also dismissed with costs.
