The lawyer’s son and wife are beneficiaries. The lawyer
formed his Robin Hartley Trust in 1987 for his wife, Marilyn Strathon
Dickinson, children and grandchildren as beneficiaries.
Giovanni Pietro Dionigi came in as a trustee.
The late lawyer had also welcomed his son-in-law, Dale
Crous, to the house.
However, after the beneficiaries came across an advert to
sell the property, Dickinson and her son, George Holland Hartley, applied for
Crous to be removed from the beneficiaries.
In their application, Dickinson and George stated that
Giovanni mortgaged the asset four times in favour of a company that had nothing
to do with the trust.
Justice Munangati-Manongwa ordered the Chief Registrar of
Deeds not to transfer the property from Robin Hartley Trust.
She also ordered Crous to pay the costs of the process.
Through his lawyer, Crous said he wanted to sell the
property to purchase an alternative house since he is partly a beneficiary.
However, Dickinson and George argued that they would be
prejudiced if Giovanni succeeded in transferring the property. H Metro
