The High Court dealt with a claim by Fedbond Nominees to recover amounts due under loan agreements and to execute against property secured for those loans. The judgment records that the respondents denied Mr Van Houten's authority to sign for the trust, but the court rejected that denial as far-fetched and untenable. The court also dealt with points raised about the notice of motion, an alleged underlying understanding, suretyships, residential property, Rule 46A, and letter of grant B929.
This may be relevant to trust borrowing, suretyship, and execution proceedings involving loan documentation and authority to sign on behalf of a trust.
