Grounds of appeal

[14] The appellant contends that the primary judge erred in finding that the respondent had discharged the onus of establishing the matters required under the relevant provision.

[15] It was submitted that his Honour failed to give adequate weight to the evidence of the second witness, and that the findings of fact were not reasonably open on the material before the Court.

[16] The respondent, for its part, submits that no error is disclosed, and that the conclusions reached were well within the range of outcomes available to the primary judge.

Consideration

[17] It is convenient to deal first with the question of construction, as the resolution of that issue informs the remaining grounds advanced by the appellant.

[18] For the reasons that follow, we are of the view that the appeal should be allowed in part and the matter remitted for further determination.

AGLC: Baloglow v Konstantinidis [2001] NSWCA 451
Case: [2001] NSWCA 451
Decision Date: 6 December 2001

CaseChat Overview and Summary

The dispute in *Baloglow v Konstantinidis* concerned the winding up of a partnership. The case came before the New South Wales Court of Appeal, with Mason P, Priestley and Giles JJA presiding.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the orders made by the primary judge concerning the transfer of shareholdings were appropriate, particularly in light of the fact that certain shares were held by individuals other than the direct partners.

The Court considered a submission that the orders were flawed because they directed the transfer of "all" shareholdings in certain companies by one party, Mr Baloglow, without making specific orders concerning the shareholdings of Mrs Baloglow and the children. However, it was common ground at trial that these other shareholders held their shares on trust for the partnership. Accordingly, the Court interpreted the order as requiring the transfer of Mr Baloglow's beneficial interest in those shares. The Court indicated that if necessary, it would amend the orders to reflect this interpretation, but no other challenges were made to the form of the orders.

Orders

Orders of the court

. A submission briefly made for Mr Baloglow was that even if none of his defences succeeded, there was still something wrong with Bergin J’s orders. The specific point was that amongst the orders were the orders that Mr Baloglow transfer to Mr Konstantinidis “all” Mr Baloglow’s “shareholding” in Carlisle and Balkon; Mrs Baloglow was a shareholder in Carlisle; Mrs Baloglow and some of Mr and Mrs Baloglow’s children were shareholders in Balkon; and no order was made concerning their shareholdings. However, as discussed earlier in these reasons, it was common ground at the trial that Mrs Baloglow and the children held their shares on trust for the partnership. Accordingly, I would read the order that Mr Baloglow “transfer … all … his shareholding in …” as meaning “transfer … all … his interest in shares held in …”. If thought necessary I would amend the orders accordingly. No other challenge was made to the form of the orders.
