HSRE CL HoldCo Ltd v Crosslane Property Group Limited and Ors [2023] JRC 084 (31 May 2023)

HSRE CL HoldCo Ltd v Crosslane Property Group Limited and Ors [2023] JRC 084 (31 May 2023)

The court declined to grant interim mandatory relief because the evidence did not establish that HSRE had legal title to the shares, as the share transfer form was not validly executed by an agent properly appointed by GPCo's board. Determination of this issue must await the substantive hearing. Granting rectification at this stage would be premature and risk injustice.
