- High Court
Contemporaneous documentary evidence (emails) and subsequent repayments established the $90,000 was a short-term repayable loan; the joint venture explanation lacked credible, particularised supporting evidence; the District Court correctly concluded there was no reasonably arguable defence and properly exercised a robust approach to baseless assertions, so summary judgment was appropriate and the appeal is dismissed.
