Appeal allowed: High Court erred in finding privity between Respondent and Appellant where Respondent acted as agent of the main contractor without Employer's written consent; the 2004 judgment and injunction were not binding on a non-party Appellant; the Final Certificate and accounts established that SASB owed the Employer and there was no proven debt by Appellant to Respondent, therefore Respondent's claim failed.

The Court upheld the High Court: the change of name and subsequent transfer were effected by forged instruments and were void; the Registrar breached statutory duties and failed to follow NLC procedures (including 14th Schedule s.8) and therefore was negligent and not entitled to s.22 protection; the 1st and 2nd defendants were immediate purchasers with defeasible title under s.340(2) NLC; limitation did not bar the suit as the injury was continuing; claims for indemnity by the 1st and 2nd defendants failed for lack of proof of actual loss.
