David successful represented the Respondents in this case which was an appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Property Chamber). The Respondents had applied to register the transfers of some properties and an objection was filed on the grounds of fraud and forgery. The objection was dismissed by the First-Tier tribunal. There was an appeal based on the argument that the Judge had not dealt with all of the evidence.
The Respondents were successful and the appeal was dismissed. The Court had to consider the nature of the issue before the tribunal and took the view that the Judge’s decision, although relatively short, had dealt sufficiently with all the evidence which related to the issues properly raised by the objection. There was no need to deal with every point of evidence and the Judge had given sufficient reasons to make clear the basis of his decision.
