- Court of Appeal
The appeal was dismissed because the Court found no material error in the High Court's findings: the 2004 transfer was consensual and lawfully effected with adequate legal advice and witnessing, the $140,000 was treated as a loan and parents' superannuation contributions were insufficiently proved to give rise to a constructive trust or proprietary interest in the respondents' properties, the Deed and Wills were valid and not a sham, and the application to adduce further evidence was properly refused as not fresh or cogent.
