The appellant appealed a trial judgment that rejected her claim of a partnership for a residential property and found her not credible.
The trial judge had also awarded punitive damages against the appellant in favour of one respondent.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal regarding the partnership, upholding the trial judge's factual findings and credibility assessments, which were entitled to deference.
However, the Court of Appeal set aside the punitive damages award, reiterating that such damages require an independent actionable wrong, which was absent in this case.
