The court granted an application compelling the plaintiff to answer 19 discovery requests in an estate dispute and ordered costs against him.
The court reduced later executor fees for delay, allowed earlier unpaid fees and solicitors’ accounts, and ordered Paula Collett an advance and further costs.
The evidence established the $100,000 was a loan that was not forgiven and was not intended as an advance on an inheritance at death; corroborated documentary and payment records plus the testator's later will revoking the prior testament show no forgiveness. The defendant's quantum meruit claim failed for lack of contract/expectation of payment; unjust enrichment failed because there was a juristic reason for enrichment (prior gratuitous loans and other benefits). Judgment granted to the Estate for outstanding principal $95,700 and defendant's claims dismissed.
