- CACV27/2016
The Court dismissed all appeals and the extension application: appellants failed to prove forgery and did not discharge the high threshold of compelling evidence required; handwriting expert evidence and contemporaneous stamped/filed documents supported authenticity; signatures on attendance lists and related transfer instruments evidenced unanimous shareholder assent under the Duomatic principle thereby validating the 1997 restructuring; procedural failure and disregard of court directions justified refusal of extension of time and constrained amendments.
