Appeal - Partnership – Hotel – Leisure – Judgement - Evidence
This case involved a claim that an investment partnership in a hotel had not been honoured. The case was rejected because it had been previously settled. However, the original case had been rejected because there had been a lack of evidence. Evidence was now provided so the status of the case had changed.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a defendant and requested the court order the defendant to pay an amount of money or appoint an expert to review the case. The claimant stated they had agreed with the defendant to invest in a hotel they owned on the conditions they would bear the necessary fees and employee salaries for five years. The claimant stated the defendant had refused to return the hotel. The claimant stated a ruling had been issued ordering the defendant to assess the hotel and she discovered that he had not paid the agreed amounts.
The court refused to consider the case because it had been previously settled.
The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
