Court of Appeal dismisses appeal by a former CEO of a building society challenging the High Court's refusal to dismiss or permanently stay negligence proceedings against him due to severe ill health and the passage of time, on the grounds that the appellant's lawyers could conduct the defense effectively, and the nature of the claims, now limited to specific loans, did not warrant dismissal.
