Dunhill -v- Burgin, Supreme Court of the UK.

See paragraph 11, per Lady Hale:-

"The defendant, in particular, has a sense of grievance at the way in which the issues and the arguments have shifted over time. BUT IN THIS COURT WE HAVE TO DO OUR BEST TO ARRIVE AT THE RIGHT RESULT and thus to allow all relevant arguments to be deployed before us unless this would be unfair to an opposing party. There is no unfairness here. Everyone has been well aware from the outset of what the underlying questions are and each party has had sufficient time to respond to all the arguments deployed." [emphasis mine]

Contrast that with the 14th (or is it 15th) implementation lecture where it is said that "justice means sort of doing well for some people some of the time" or words to that effect.
