    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ2303/2002

    The 1st Defendant was incorporated and controlled by the 2nd and 3rd Defendants contemporaneously with diversion of Linkwaters' business and assets, rendering Linkwaters unable to satisfy the plaintiff's judgment; the 1st Defendant was a vehicle used to evade liability and the corporate veil is therefore lifted so that Kelly McKenzie Limited and the 2nd and 3rd Defendants are jointly and severally liable for the judgment debt; the 4th Defendant was not involved in the diversion and is not liable.
