The plaintiff estate brought a motion for summary judgment seeking repayment of an alleged debt of $536,294.74 based on a promissory note signed by the defendant and the deceased.
The defendant disputed the amount owed, arguing the note was only an estimate and that he had repaid most of the money.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the conflicting evidence, including an affidavit from the parties' accountant, raised genuine issues of credibility and fact that required a trial.
No costs were awarded as the successful defendant failed to file a costs outline.
