Two sisters have settled their row over £50,000 one gave to the other to help her buy a house in Dundee.
Sandra Gow and her husband Derek are now repaying the five-figure sum to her sister Diane Gibson.
Mrs Gibson insisted the £50,000 she gave to the Gows to buy a semi-detached home on Strathisla Road, West Ferry, in 2007 was a loan and had to be repaid.
Mrs Gow said it was a gift and not a loan, and did not have to be repaid. If it was proved to be a loan, however, the repayment was not due at the time it was sought according to what she believed to be a condition of their arrangement.
When the Gows refused to repay the money, Mrs Gibson took them to court and Monday was due to be the third day of evidence in the case.
Papers lodged at the sheriff court explained the transaction between Diane Gibson and the Gows was under a verbal agreement and was subject to conditions.
Diane Gibson maintained the £50,000 was a loan and had to be repaid by the time she retired.
The Gows said if Diane Gibson was not retired or about to retire, there was no obligation to repay the money.
They claimed that in these circumstances, Diane Gibson was not in a position to receive the money.
Diane Gibson said she had a verbal agreement with her sister. The two sisters met around July 2012 and Diane Gibson maintained her sister agreed to repay the loan on terms that were reasonable without her needing to sell the house.
She instructed Diane Gibson to draw up a contract, but the Gows did not comply with several requests for them to repay the money.
All parties declined to comment on the case.
