The High Court dealt with two appeals arising from a delict claim about the unauthorised transfer of investor funds in a property syndication. It held that Mr Brian William Louis remained liable, while Mr Louis Jacobus Cloete was not personally liable on the evidence as analysed afresh. The order against one appellant was dismissed and the other was upheld, with the court also confirming judgment against Mr Louis and Dr Alan Louis for USD 380 228.99 plus compound interest.
