The High Court considered a dispute about the administration of the Bellstedt Family Trust and a claimed loan account said to be owed to the second respondent. It granted condonation for a late replying affidavit and found that the purported loan account was invalid and that the resolution of 19 December 2025 was reviewed and set aside.
This may be relevant to trust administration, trustee decision making, and disputes over alleged claims against trust assets.
