George v Bourke

The appeal concerned a dispute between George and Bourke. The appeal was heard by Hodgson and Ipp JJA, and Gzell J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the trial judge had erred in their factual findings. The appeal was brought on the grounds that the factual findings made by the trial judge were incorrect.

The court considered the approach an appellate court should take when reviewing factual findings made at trial. After considering the arguments, the court found no error in the trial judge's factual findings.

Consequently, the appeal was dismissed with costs.
