- High Court
The Court found that Mr Harrison, by entering into the record of settlement personally, arranging and instructing draft accounts, making personal representations that payment would be made and withdrawing funds, induced the respondent to rely to his detriment; in those circumstances it would be unconscionable for Mr Harrison to resile and equitable estoppel imposed personal liability on him. Accordingly the respondent was entitled to judgment against Mr Harrison personally (jointly and severally with WCHL) for USD52,312.26 plus costs and disbursements.
