The declaration that the deceased and his estate held the shares on trust for the plaintiff did not by itself effect transmission of legal title; the defendant must give effect to the judgment but only by compliance with the company's Articles and Companies Ordinance formalities (presentation of a proper instrument of transfer and related requirements); until the plaintiff is registered she lacks locus to claim an account of dividends, and accordingly the action as pleaded must be dismissed for want of the required formalities.
