- HCA1615/2021
Leave was granted because on the low prima facie threshold the applicant had demonstrated an arguable defence and it was in the interests of the separate legal entity Modena HK to permit intervention where the controlling shareholder was the plaintiff; the company’s failure to defend was attributable to the conflict/control issues and misconduct, the statutory notice requirement could be dispensed with, and the applicant undertook to bear initial costs and indemnify Modena HK for any adverse costs orders.
