The appeal was dismissed because the statement of claim disclosed no arguable cause of action: the Incorporated Owners, as a separate legal entity, could not be held liable for the individual acts of one of their members and there was nothing they could lawfully have done to prevent the member's proceedings; accordingly the High Court striking out order must stand.
