For $500 a Person Decision Reversed in H.M
Supreme Full Court A sequel to a moneylending action in 1937 was heard in H.M. Supreme Full Court yesterday when a judgment entered by Judge P. Grant Jones in favour of defendant was reversed and awarded to plaintiff with costs. The appellant was Hari Singh, who was represented by Mr. Ranald McDonald. He asked for a reversal of the decision when in July 1997 a claim entered by him to recover $1,830 from Partap Singh failed.
According to appellant this sum represented a total of $1,500 lent to Partap Singh on a promissory note plus interest. He also asked that the costs of the previous action be paid by respondent together with the costs of the appeal. Before Judge Sir Athol MacGregor, Judge Sir Allan Mossop and Judge P. Grant Jones the costs were allowed. Mr. E. T. Maitland represented respondent.
