The bank retained a certificate of title to the respondent's property as a third party security for a loan to a Jone Raikabula and refused to release it until payment of the debt. The High Court ordered rel
ease of the title, finding that the respondent intended to assist a partnership, not Raikabula alone, and that the Bank acted without authority in treating the title document as security for advances made to Raikabula alone.

He wanted to help his nephew, who was going into partnership with Raikabula to construct a house for the Housing Authority. Raikabula had an account with the Bank in his own name, trading as Bulls Building Contractors, and it required
 security for any advance. Seru gave e}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8864075 vidence that they spoke to a b}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13203822\charrsid13203822 ank officer (}{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15018803 Mataitoga) explaining what they}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13203822\charrsid13203822 
 proposed. He delivered his uncle's letter and title, and said they opened an account for Bulls Building Contractors, with both of them as signa
tories. However, he discovered later that the Bank had made the advances to Raikabula's personal account which he operated without referen}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid16022498 ce to him, and the Bank refused }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13203822\charrsid13203822 to let him see it or to give him any details. When the respondent heard about this he wrote to the Bank on 23 March 1992 withd}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7812983 
rawing his mortgage and support.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13203822\charrsid13203822  At that time Raikabula's account was about $5000 overdrawn.

\par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13203822\charrsid13203822 Evidence was given on behalf of the Bank by a loans officer who had to rely on somewhat incomplete records because the off
icer who dealt with the matter was no longer available. It is quite clear from his evidence that the only account for Bulls Building Contractors was that conducted by Raikabula}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7812983  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13203822\charrsid13203822 personally. Scott J. accepted Seru's evidence of the dealings with the Bank and
 held that it had acted without authority in treating the title document as security for the advances made to Rakabula.
\par 
\par The appeal to this court was advanced on the basis that His Lordship erred in not recognising Raikabula as a partner of Bulls Building 
Contractors, and thus able to operate the firm's account to which the Bank had properly made advances in accordance with the respondent's letter of authority. However, as we have pointed out, the assumption that Rakabula's account was recognised by the Ba
n
k as that of the partnership between him and Seru is simply not correct. Scott J. accepted Seru's evidence to the effect that the Bank knew his uncle was offering the security for an advance to the partnership only, which confirms what the uncle said in h
is letter of 23 January referring throughout to the proprietors of Bulls Building Contractors in the plural.

rity in using the title document as security for the overdraft in Raikabula's account, when the loan officer admitted that the security was required to finance a partnership.
