The court refused to grant the declaration or interlocutory injunction because the plaintiffs failed to show sufficient grounds to interfere with the Chamber's internal management: Article 32 was not an absolute basis for injunctive relief in the circumstances, Article 6 was directory and did not establish mala fide refusal to consider applications, and where the Articles produced potential deadlock the company retains an inherent power to resolve it; accordingly the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the lack of demonstrated damage barred relief by the minority.
