THE COURT The appeal is dismissed with costs. The following is the judgment delivered by THE COURT (Orally) [ 1 ] In extensive reasons, now reported at 2012 NBQB 316 , [2012] N.B.J. No. 485 (QL), the trial judge concluded that neither of the respondents was liable in negligence for the loss arising from a fire which destroyed the appellant’s garage and chattels. As we have not been persuaded the trial judge erred in principle, or made a palpable or overriding error with respect to his findings of fact or mixed law and fact, the appeal is dismissed.
Pursuant to Rule 59, and in accordance with Note (1) at the bottom of Tariff “A”, each respondent is entitled to costs of 40% of those awarded at trial.
