The pleaded claims for loss of the vehicle and related loss of use and ancillary costs (sections 5 and 6 of Section B) were struck out because only the registered owner (Profit Power) had a cause of action to recover diminution in value and loss of use; the plaintiff's status as sole director/shareholder did not make him the legal or beneficial owner for purposes of these claims; the claims were plainly unsustainable and the Master correctly struck them out; an unserved joinder or unpursued separate action did not cure the defect.
