The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to plead or adduce evidence of part-performance required to avoid the Statute of Frauds, and it was improper for the appellate court to entertain a new equitable defence not raised or litigated at trial (particularly where s.33 Cap.336 required written notice), so the respondent was entitled to rely on the absence of any memorandum in writing.
