Notes |
We have changed the case name from what appears in the APC on the basis of the printed cases. The appellant’s printed cases styles the respondents as Innes ex rel. Donaldson and does not mention Governor Lyttleton as a party. The respondent’s printed case adds that Israel is appealing on behalf of himself and Sill as co-owners of the Diamond, does not mention that Innes sued ex rel. Donaldson, but adds Governor Lyttleton as a party respondent. For clarity, the names of the participants enumerated in the printed cases are added to Participants here even though they are not mentioned in the APC. |
