Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiff, former curator bonis of the late Muchineripi Rishoni Gonyora's estate, sought summary judgment for US$160,788.98 in professional fees awarded by a taxing officer and confirmed by the High Court. The defendant opposed the claim, alleging the plaintiff had fraudulently disposed of estate property worth more than the claimed fees and that criminal proceedings were pending against him.
