- District Court
- Case number
- DCCJ3388/2005
Leave to appeal refused because the applicant failed to show reasonable prospects of success; the court correctly assessed objective circumstances (including matters known only to the solicitor) to conclude there was no mutual intention to create a Quistclose trust, rejected the uncertainty contention regarding the unsigned shareholders agreement, and held that solicitors receiving payment from a non-client are not automatically required to seek clarification from the third party or return funds.
