The Full Court of Appeal this morning heard further submissions by Counsel for the appellant in an appeal against the judgment of the Acting Chief Justice, Mr E. H. Williams, in which his Lordship found against a retired merchant in favour of his concubine in a property dispute.
In the original action appellant alleged that he had fictitiously assigned four properties to his concubine for fear of losing them to his creditors. Two of these pro- perties were sold during the Japanese occupation without his knowledge or consent, he alleged.
