The court disqualified The Law Office of Maran Ram from representing Defendant 1 and Defendant 4 because the firm had acted for both the plaintiff (beneficial owner under the construction agreement) and the liquidator/defendant in interconnected transactions and documents, creating a conflict of interest and breaching Rules 4 and 5 of the Legal Profession (Practice and Etiquette) Rules 1978; the objection based on delay was insufficient to defeat the application.

On the totality of evidence the Sessions Court was entitled to find that the van involved was AAT 8623 and not WDB 8532; allegations of vehicle swap and fraud, supported by witness testimony and documentary inconsistencies, meant plaintiffs failed to prove liability on a balance of probabilities; conflict of interest in funding did not warrant retrial; quantum findings and awards by the Sessions Court were not disturbed on appeal.
