Withers v Deering

In *Withers v Deering*, the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Western Australia considered appeals against the assessment of damages awarded to Mrs Deering and Mr Deering. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the original assessment of damages is not detailed in the provided text, but the appeals concerned the quantum of those damages.

The central legal issue before the Full Court was whether the original assessment of damages in favour of Mrs Deering and Mr Deering was correct, and whether the grounds of appeal raised by the appellant had sufficient merit to warrant interference with that assessment.

The Full Court dismissed both appeals. While the reasoning behind this dismissal is not elaborated upon in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the Court found no error in the original assessment of damages. Consequently, the appellant was ordered to pay the respondent's costs in relation to both appeals.
