Litigation Letter
Failure to Give Reasons
Flannery v Halifax Estate Agencies Ltd ((2000) 1 WLR 377)
If there is an application for leave to appeal on the grounds that the trial judge had not given sufficient reasons for the
conclusion he had reached, the potential respondent should consider inviting the judge to give his reasons and his explanations
as to why they were not set out in the judgment in an affidavit for use subsequently by the Court of Appeal.
