The appellant appealed the dismissal of his action for the return of money he claimed was a loan to his son and former daughter-in-law.
The trial judge found the money was a gift, believing the testimony of the former daughter-in-law over the appellant and his son.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's credibility findings, which were supported by the suspicious timing of the demand for repayment just before the couple's separation.
