High Court, in a complex case concerning the interpretation of insurance policies related to leased aircraft following the Russian invasion of Ukraine: (a) refuses to rule as inadmissible the expert testimony of an insurance market specialist, on the grounds that the plaintiff had already adduced expert evidence on the subject, and that the defendant's expert should also be heard; but (b) rules a portion of the evidence as inadmissible where it concerned the 'course of repossession', on the grounds that it was hypothetical and not based on market experience.
