The statement of claim disclosed a prima facie cause of action for assisting breaches of fiduciary duty against Ronald and therefore the defendants' strike-out application on the ground of no reasonable cause of action failed; the limitation defence was not shown to be hopeless because it was open to the plaintiff to challenge the defendants' evidence and to adduce extrinsic evidence, and the knowledge of beneficiaries was not clearly attributable to the company such as to make the action time-barred as a matter of law.
