The application to admit evidence was refused. ‘We would be required to draw inferences from this evidence without the benefit of it having been considered by the experts on either side as to what the significance of the sale figure is. In those circumstances, we have come to the conclusion that it would not have had an important influence on the outcome of the issue before the learned judge and we do not think that it is of such critical importance that we should admit it. If we were to admit it, we do not consider it is appropriate for this court to try and evaluate its significance.’
