Bhamra v Dubb [2010] EWCA Civ 13; [2010] WLR (D) 10

Such a conclusion was justified on the basis of well established principles of proximity, and after invoking CPR r 52.11(4) to enable the Court of Appeal to draw such inferences as were justified on the evidence where the judge below had not made a critical finding of fact.”
