   ...abnormalities of the supraspinous ligament, lumbar facet joints or dorsal sacral ligaments, which would indicate that the condition was not caused by falling after rearing. d) MU has presented a considerable amount of evidence of [the horse] performing well at equestrian events prior to sale and I accept there was no indication of poor behaviour indicating back pain. It is unfortunate that [the horse] appears to have had a latent condition that only became evident after the sale. The ve...

   ...surface, the rot is under the ground. BB considered that subsequent builders were easily able to find the rot, however, they had the advantage of being able to remove the cladding and removed the sand to expose the pile. TS Ltd was not engaged to perform that service, but rather was to provide an opinion only on what it could see.

   ...something which combined with others makes up the whole (whether actually separate from the rest or not)”,2 and there is no reason for “part” not to be given its ordinary meaning.

Even if, as Mr Zhang submitted, physical segregation is required, it could be argued that requirement is met in this case by the walls of...
