APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The appellant acknowledges that this is a fact driven appeal. The trial judge did the best he could with the evidence he had. We see no basis for interfering with his conclusion. We accept that the amount he allowed Henry Pejhan included any portion of the mortgage costs attributable to legitimate expenses.
2Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. Costs of the appeal are to the respondent and are agreed at $10,000, inclusive of disbursements and all applicable taxes. The parties agree that Henry Pejhan is to account Pejiko Limited for the sum of $10,000 the company advanced to Henry’s solicitor, Mr. Goodman.
