Plaintiff failed to discharge evidential burden to show transfers/SPAs were sham or tainted by fraud; material evidence showed payment and the contractual BIA/TCA scheme transferred beneficial ownership to defendants; D7 proved bona fide purchaser protection under NLC; liquidator acted without proper compliance with statutory duties and lack of bona fides undermined suit; accordingly plaintiff's claims dismissed and counterclaims by D3‑D5 and D7 allowed.

On the facts and applicable law the defendant owed no duty of care to the plaintiff for the CBP wall designs; the SOC therefore disclosed no sustainable cause of action in tort against the defendant and the suit was frivolous/abusive of process; O 92 r 4 could not be invoked to avoid the specific strike out regime; accordingly the correct exercise of discretion was to strike out the suit with costs.

The court held there was no bona fide substantial dispute: the company's conduct and part payments amounted to acceptance/admission of the Settlement Agreement; the affidavit defect was cured by Rule 197; non-stamping did not go to the document's validity; the statutory demand remained unsatisfied within 21 days; consequently the company was unable to pay its debts and the winding up petition succeeded while the strike-out application failed.
