The strike out application was dismissed because the plaintiffs’ pleaded claims were at least prima facie arguable: court‑appointed receivers can, depending on facts, owe fiduciary duties to persons with a sufficient interest and those duties can include a duty to account and to disclose records; the claims were not plainly vexatious or an abuse; the court has power to grant retrospective leave and such leave is granted for the present action (subject to limited excision of words seeking relief for non‑parties).
