Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a pension fund, claimed that shares held by Sagit Stockbrokers belonged to it and were being held in trust. When Sagit was liquidated, the liquidator included these shares in the final liquidation and distribution account and later offered to pay cash instead of delivering the actual shares. The applicant sought an order compelling delivery of the shares.
