\par 
\par }{\b\ul\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 FACTS AS PLEADED
\par }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (4) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The plaintiff resides in Canada. The defendant is his brother. At some point, the plaintiff granted a General Power of Attorney to the defendant. I
t appears that, by virtue of that General Power of Attorney, the defendant was able to execute the sale of a piece of residential property which the plaintiff alleges was registered under the his (plaintiffs) name. That property is situated at Savala Stre
et, Lautoka. It is alleged that the property was sold in July 2007 for $83,460-00. It is presumed from the lack of any allegation of fraud and from the general tone of the pleadings that the plaintiff had instructed the defendant to sell the property.

\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (5) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
The claim appears to be premised on an allegation that the defendant has since not paid to the plaintiff anything at all out of the proceeds of sale to the plaintiff despite repeated requests from the plaintiff.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (6) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The statement of claim then goes on to plead that on the 2nd of July 2001, the defendant executed a "}{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 letter of agreement}{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 \rquote 
" in favour of the plaintiff for the sum of $138,501.13 with $13.00 per centum per annum calculated from July 1997 to 2nd July, 2001. A year later, the defendant "}{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 executed an
 agreement admitting that he owes the plaintiff the sum of $156,508.39 which included interest of $13.00 per centum from 2nd July 2001 calculated on the sum of $138,501.13}{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 ".
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (7) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
The plaintiff then pleads that the defendant refuses to pay up despite requests by the plaintiff. It is claimed that, at the time of filing of the Writ, the defendant owes the plaintiff the sum of $229,865.80.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (8) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The plaintiff claims breach of trust as donee. That suggests a cause of action based on an allegation of breach of trust by virtue of the defendants position of trust as Attorney.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (9) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The basic factual matrix presented in the statement of claim may support an alternative cause of action based on the defendants\rquote 
 alleged acknowledgement of the debt (subject to any consideration of the Limitation Act of course).
\par 
\par }{\b\ul\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 DEFENDANT\rquote S AFFIDAVIT
\par }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (10) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The defendant says this action has been before the Court since July 2006. The statement of claim does not particularize the \lquote residential property" in question nor the \lquote 
General Power of Attorney\rquote  nor the conveyance details of the sale that the defendant executed. These details he says are being withheld by the plaintiff despite a written request in March 2007 and w
ithout them, he (the defendant) will be prejudiced in his defense of this action.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (11) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 He seeks an order that the plaintiff forthwith disclose to him the documents and details of the \lquote }{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 residential property\rquote }{
\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 , "}{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 General Power of Attorney" and conveyance documents}{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
 and if the plaintiff fails to disclose these documents, this action should be struck out with costs in my favour.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (12) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The defendant says that the bundle of documents filed by the plaintiff on 6th March 2008 discovers both Agreements alleged in the s
tatement of claim. However, the first of those documents is executed by "two persons upon the stamp of "}{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 Lautoka General Transport Co. Ltd}{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
". Also, he points out that the document does not say who the amounts are owed to, let alone, do they mention the plaintiffs name. The second of those documents he says is written under the letterhead of Lautoka General Transport Co. Ltd.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (13) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The defendant then appears to suggest that the plaintiffs cause of action, based on the documents discovered by him by the plainti
ff, is against Lautoka General Transport Co. Ltd rather than against the defendant personally. The defendant also highlights in his affidavit that the plaintiff has filed a similar action against him and Lautoka General Transport Co. Ltd in Lautoka High C
ourt HBC 260 of 2006 L. He says that this action against him personally is a duplicity of civil action 260 of 2006 L.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (14) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 He also deposes that the plaintiff lives in Canada and is not ordinarily resident in Fiji and has not given up security for costs.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (15) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 He seeks $10,000.00 (Ten Thousand Dollars) as security for costs.

\par }{\b\ul\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 AFFIDAVIT OF JANARDAN NAIDU
\par }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (16) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 The plaintiff has filed the affidavit of Janardan Naidu sworn on the 6th day of October, 2009 to oppose the orders sought. Naidu is the Chief Litigati
on Clerk at Iqbal Khan & Associates, the plaintiffs lawyers. A copy of the plaintiffs authority is annexed and marked "}{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 A}{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 " in Naidu\rquote 
s Affidavit. Naidu deposes that the plaintiff trusted the defendant and had given the latter a General Power of Attorney and all his property documents. He then appears to suggest that as all these documents are in the defendant\rquote 
s custody, the plaintiff does not have to discover them to the defendant.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (17) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 Naidu then deposes that the document annexed in the account of monies ow
ed by the defendant to the plaintiff was prepared by the defendant and the signatures on the bottom are of the defendant and his brother }{\b\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 MALKIT SINGH}{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
 and the stamp at Lautoka General Transport was attested to by the defendant himself. He adds that the defe
ndant was the plaintiffs Attorney and not Lautoka General Transport Company and if the defendant had attested his Company Stamp on the account prepared by him, that is the defendant\rquote s own fault.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (18) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 Naidu explains that Civil Action No. 260 of 2006/L rela
tes to the plaintiffs shares from Lautoka General Transport Company Limited. Civil Action No. 262 of 2006 is against Pyara Singh only for not paying monies he received from selling the plaintiffs properties as his lawful attorney.
\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (19) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 
That as to Paragraph 15 of the said Affidavit the plaintiff says that he resides in Canada but frequently visits Fiji and also his properties sold by the defendant are in Fiji but is prepared to give security for costs if required by Court.

\par 
\par }{\insrsid8198969 (22) }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969 In my view, the facts as pleaded in the statement
 of claim discloses a reasonable cause of action. Admittedly, there is a lot of room to improve the statement of claim, and I would urge the defendant to seek leave to amend the statement of claim by pleading the particulars that the defendant requires. B
ut this is no reason to strike out the claim at this stage. The law requires me to take as accepted all that is pleaded in the claim.

\par }{\insrsid8198969\charrsid8198969

f defence filed by the defendant is but a blanket denial of all the allegations. The defendant alleges that he is not able to plead properly because of the lack of particulars in the claim. It would be desirable to make such an order for further and bette
r particulars now against the plaintiff \endash 
 if anything - to enable the defendant to plead to specific issues rather than simply raise a bare denial which will greatly assist the Court. I would think that the copies of the Title to the property, the Power of Attorney, the transfer documents 
\endash  would be readily available at the Office of the Registrar of Titles upon a proper search. The plaintiff should simply instruct his lawyers (in case they do not know this) to search for these documents. There is no reason
