The appeals court can see that the judgement will not survive appeal. 75% of it was beyond the statutory bar that the court itself set back in June. That's a no-brainer.
The rest will crumble in the appeal, since they completely failed to show any connection between the SFC's and the profits. If there is no causal relationship proved, disgorgement is not a remedy.
This would never have happened at all if the case was tried in the Commercial Division where they know how to handle complex financial deals.
