In Umeweni v J B Wheatley & Co , CA 11 April 1990, it was held that the two letters relied on by the respondent, and accepted as crucial by the learned judge in showing that the appellants had notice of the circumstances, were not genuine. The inference from the remaining evidence was that the respondent had authorised Mr Abuchi to act for him, to sign the contract for sale to mortgage the lease and to have the proceeds paid to his account. There had been no negligence by the appellants.
