Applying a broad macroscopic assessment (following Re Days and In re Grande), the court found on the evidence that the plaintiff had not established on balance that the furniture rental claim was owed by the company; the chairman was entitled to admit the claim at nominal value given doubt; the alleged statutory breaches were irregularities that did not cause substantial injustice and did not invalidate the meeting; therefore the originating summons was dismissed and the appointment and minutes need not be set aside.
