Appeal dismissed because the appellant was bound by the specific breaches pleaded in the re-amended statement of claim; the broader 'safeguarding duty' breaches relied on at appeal were unpleaded and could not be introduced by reference to trial evidence; the only breach proved was failure to inform the beneficiary on reaching majority but no causal link or loss was established, justifying only nominal damages of $1; costs awarded against the appellant.
