- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal: the District Court did not err in its procedural management (including simplified trial allocation and treatment of further evidence), the appellant's dual‑personality/cestui que trust and admiralty theories were legally untenable, the lease was a binding contract and enforceable, the commission and rates claims were properly payable and the appellant's counterclaims were without legal foundation; the stay was lifted and costs were to be addressed on paper.
