The court established that a transaction could be classified as a mortgage rather than a sale, emphasizing the burden of proof and admissibility of oral evidence.
Proper party inclusion is essential in property disputes, and claims of fraud must be substantiated by convincing evidence.
Allegations of fraud, misrepresentations and undue influence in pleadings and evidence must be clear, definite and specific but general allegations in that regard are insufficient.
