The defendants appealed against two orders made in proceedings by the new government of Zambia alleging various tortious conspiracies by defendants with members of the former government.
Held: Appeals by the remaining two partners in the firm of solicitors were dismissed. The allegations were of dishonest assistance in connection with funds deposited in London in the names of other defendants from which payments had been made into the client accounts of the defendants and in part for their professional fees.
The Court of Appeal overturned the judge’s assessment of a witness he had listened to for several days.
