The summons to strike out was dismissed because the plaintiff's pleaded contractual and tortious causes of action against the defendant firm are not barred by the trustees' release order under s94(3); the release discharged only the individual trustees and did not extinguish a separate duty owed by the firm which put forward its partners as trustees, so the Statement of Claim discloses a reasonable cause of action.
