| Questions |
| 1. Who was defeated in the appeal? |
Answer: Harris.
We know this because:
- Harris originally sued Nickerson for his travelling expenses
and was 'at first instance' successful.
- we are told in line 9 that the decision was appealed and in
line 7 the court held that the expenses were not recoverable.
Therefore, the original decision in favour of Harris was reversed.
|
| 2. Who was the appellant? |
Answer: Nickerson.
We know this because:
- the plaintif, Harris, was successful in the first court case;
- the appellant launches an appeal. (An unsuccessful party may
wish to have the matter reheard in a higher court.)
Nickerson lost the first court case, so s/he would be the appellant. |
| 3. Who was the respondent? |
Answer: Harris.
We know this because:
- the respondent is responding to the appeal raised against him/her.
- Nickerson was appealing, therefore Harris is the respondent.
