Court to correct failure by the legal representatives
Relevant to whether or not a Court may feel it was misled by mistakes
made by counsel for either side what Lord Denning said in Doyle v Olby
Ltd [1969] 2 All ER 119, 121 was:
“We never allow a client to suffer for the mistake of his counsel
if we can possibly help it. We will always seek to rectify it
as far as we can. We will correct it whenever we are able to do so
without injustice to the other side. Sometimes the error has seriously
affected
the course
of the evidence, in which case we can best order a new trial."
