    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1204/2020

    On the facts the court found the 25 July 2019 communication amounted to a valid, unconditional demand for return of the share certificate and the 1st Defendant's failure to deliver it forthwith by 7 November 2019 constituted an unequivocal refusal giving rise to conversion and detinue from 7 November 2019 until redelivery on 7 January 2020; the claim against the 2nd Defendant failed for lack of pleaded or proven procurement/possession or material assistance.
