A man has failed in his fi­nal bid to avoid pay­ing his sis­ter her share of a prop­er­ty they in­her­it­ed from their fa­ther.

De­liv­er­ing a judg­ment on Mon­day, five Law Lords of the Unit­ed King­dom-based Privy Coun­cil dis­missed Nir­mal Ma­hadeo's fi­nal ap­peal against his sis­ter Can­dice.

Sir An­drew Moy­lan, who wrote the judg­ment, stat­ed that Ma­hadeo had failed to prove that both a High Court Judge and the Court of Ap­peal were wrong to up­hold his sis­ter's claim.
