James McCreath has been successful in an appeal against a High Court judgment in a case claiming restitution of alleged overcharges for sewerage services.  The judgment clarifies the operation of the burden of proof in such circumstances, and provides guidance about the ability of factual witnesses to give expert evidence without the Court’s permission which will be of interest to practitioners more generally.
