- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA1301/2013
The claim against the 2nd defendant failed as a matter of law because she was the sole director and sole shareholder of a one‑person company and the pleaded case did not establish that she acted outside her corporate capacity or mala fide so as to attract personal liability; the pleaded 'alter ego' assertions and proposed amendments could not cure this fundamental flaw and therefore the claim was plainly liable to be struck out and amendment refused.
