Court of First Instance

HCA1355/2018

Plaintiff failed to discharge the burden of proof on the central issues: he did not prove the alleged oral agreement or his asserted beneficial contributions on the balance of probabilities; contemporaneous WhatsApp exchanges and bank records materially contradicted the plaintiff's account and showed no demands or avoidance by defendant; therefore defendant was found to be the more credible witness and plaintiff's claim is dismissed.

HCMP966/2012

The defendant failed to demonstrate any error in the trial judge's factual finding that the deceased was the beneficial owner of Property A (funds were his), therefore there was no reasonable prospect of success on appeal and leave to appeal was refused; the Court also exercised its rule 2A(8) power to bar further re-application under r.2A(7).
