Karwala v Skrzypczak

The applicants, Karwala and Skrzypczak, sought leave to appeal a decision of the trial judge. The nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the application for leave to appeal concerned alleged errors in the trial judge's fact-finding and the admission of evidence. The matter was heard by Giles JA and Tobias JA in the Court of Appeal.

The primary legal issues before the Court of Appeal were whether there was an arguable case of error in the trial judge's factual findings, whether errors were made in the admission of evidence, and whether further evidence, which the applicants sought to introduce on appeal, should be received.

The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal. Their reasoning, as indicated by the catchwords, was that the applicants failed to establish a prima facie case of authenticity for a letter they wished to rely on as fresh evidence. Consequently, the court found no arguable case of error in the trial judge's fact-finding or evidentiary rulings that would warrant granting leave to appeal. The application for leave to appeal was dismissed with costs.
