The Court dismissed the appeal because the Plaintiffs failed to prove the requisite three certainties for a trust and there was no contemporaneous declaration or notation on Form 14A or title indicating a trust; the 1995 transfer was an absolute inter vivos gift formalised by registration, and the Plaintiffs' prolonged silence (25 years) invoked laches, barring equitable relief.

The Court affirmed the High Court's factual findings: the settlement funds were disbursed lawfully pursuant to instructions attributed to the 1st plaintiff (in his capacity as director), the statutory declarations and contemporaneous bank documents were admissible and reliable, the sale and purchase agreement and transfer were validly executed and attested, the proffered recorded digital evidence was inadmissible for lack of pleaded foundation and authentication, and therefore the appellants failed to discharge the burden of proof; appeals dismissed and High Court decision affirmed.
