Published 17 November 2016

Refund of bond — whether term was agreed or implied under contract — District Courts Act 1947. The plaintiff was entitled to refund of a bond paid with interest at the maximum rate under the District Courts Act, as well as costs. The Judge rejected the defendant’s submissions that the bond did not have to be repaid until the end of a licence with a third party, and that that term was either agreed or should be implied in the contract. A counterclaim of the defendant was also rejected. Judgment Date: 4 May 2016.
