Extract
In Flannery v. Halifax Estate Agencies Ltd. [2000] 1 W.L.R. 377, the purchasers of a flat in Manchester sued a valuer, on whose report they had relied, for negligence. At the trial there was a conflict of expert evidence. The judge preferred the evidence of the defendant's experts and dismissed the claim. It was accepted that the judge's conclusion was one that was open to him on the evidence. The Court of Appeal set aside the judgment and ordered a new trial.
