- CACV117/2014
Leave to appeal was refused because the plaintiff's reliance on Wilson failed: there was no exceptional express contractual undertaking by the bank to maintain the plaintiff's personal reputation so no stand-alone personal cause arose; claims based on wrongful procurement of Esquire's judgment were reflective of the company's loss and barred; the plaintiff lacked locus given vesting of rights in the trustee and the issues were not reasonably arguable or of general/public importance.
