The Court is of the opinion that this
appeal should be dismissed. .
: The Sequestration Order was made on the
18th February 1952, the impeached transaction ocourred on
the 11th February 1952 and the act of bankruptcy was
failure to comply with the bankruptcy notice on or before
the 11th January 1952.
The first issue in the case was whether,
at the time the impeached transaction was entered into,
the bankrupt was the owner of this motor car. The second
issue was whether the appellant here entered into a real
transaction under which he acquired the ownership of the
vehicle and, if that was established in his favour, the
next question would be whether the conditions precedent
to the confirmation of his title under Section 96 of the
Act have been satisfied.
It is unnecessary to sum up here the
evidence which was given. That was very fully done by his
Honour Mr. Justice Clyne and it is corzect, as his Honour
said, that the questions which his Honour had to determine
were questions of fact.
We are all of opinion that the conclusions
which his Honour arrived at are fully justified by the ;
evidence which his Honour heard and that there is really no
substance whatever in this appeal and that it should be
dismissed with costs.
