  • The case involves a private mortgage dispute where the Acquavivas held the first charge against Holmes' property.
  • The court previously granted summary judgment on liability to the plaintiffs.

Key Issues:

  1. The actual amount secured under the Acquaviva charge.

  • Interest Rate: 9.75% per annum from July 1, 2019.
  • Lender's Fee: The court found no agreement for the $21,600 lender's fee, thus it was not included.
