Abood v Tayeb

Abood v Tayeb

The appeal fails because the Consent Order concluded the original proceedings, the estate had no interest in the Shake Trust monies, and there was no evidentiary basis for the claim regarding the TRT Contract. The relief sought would serve no useful purpose and would be oppressive.
