The appellant appealed the trial judge's decisions to strike his statement of claim and declare a mortgage registered to his mother as not binding on a partnership.
The appellant also alleged bias on the part of the trial judge.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal regarding the statement of claim and the bias allegations, finding no substantial wrong and that the trial judge's conduct did not amount to bias.
However, the Court varied the judgment regarding the mortgage, directing that its validity and priority be determined in future proceedings when the property is sold, as the mortgagee was not a party to the action.
