On appeal from the judgment of Justice Peter Lauwers of

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

At the opening of the appeal, the appellant abandoned his argument
    concerning the condominium.

[2]

In our view, there was ample evidence to support the trial judges
    findings that the investment of the respondents money was to be safe and that
    where it was invested was unsafe. Nor do we see this to be a corporate veil
    case. The trial judge held the personal appellant liable on the basis of the
    direct relationship he found to exist between that appellant and the
    respondent. There was a firm evidentiary foundation for the finding and we
    would not interfere with it.

[3]

Appeal dismissed. Costs to the respondent fixed at $9,700 in total.
