The plaintiff invested in a property with the defendant Esmail, creating a trust relationship.
Esmail failed to keep proper accounts, transferred the property to his wife Yasmin to defeat creditors, and eventually sold the property without properly accounting to the plaintiff.
The solicitor acting on the sale, Jiwa, ignored the trust declaration and failed to protect the plaintiff's interests.
The court found Esmail and Yasmin liable for breach of trust and fiduciary duty, and Jiwa liable for negligence and breach of fiduciary duty, awarding damages to the plaintiff.
