The transfer of the Chico shares was unlawful because it breached valid charging orders and Court of Appeal directions; the applicant was an aggrieved person under s.103 CA2016 and entitled to rectification of the register; Enclosure 1 is not an 'action' barred by s.26(2) CLA 1956 as that provision targets actions to recover sums won on a wager, and the defendants' challenge is barred by res judicata from prior adjudication in the Main Suit.

The Statement of Claim disclosed no determinable cause of action because the subject matter had been finally determined by an earlier judgment; the relief sought was enforcement which must be pursued under Order 45 of the Rules of Court 2012, and the present proceedings amounted to an abuse of process, therefore the claim is struck out.

The application to set aside the Order appointing the Receiver was dismissed because the Substitution Order lawfully substituted the executor so that all prior orders and steps (including the Charging Order and Order appointing Receiver) operate against the substituted executor; the substitute accepted substitution in the proceedings; the proper forum to challenge the Receiver's appointment was the original writ action; and setting aside would unjustly nullify plaintiff's substantive remedies on procedural technicality.

Where the plaintiff produced SSM searches showing the defendant as registered owner, omission to aver belief of beneficial ownership under Order 50 r3 was not fatal; the defendant must show lack of beneficial interest to resist making the charging order absolute. On the evidence most shares remained subject to a charging order absolute, but where contemporaneous evidence established transfer of shares (Ace Trace) or a subsisting trust (Chico Development) the court refused to make the order absolute in respect of those shares and varied the ex-parte order accordingly.

The written shareholders' agreement constituted the entire agreement between parties and, under ss 91 and 92 Evidence Act 1950, barred admission of extrinsic evidence relied on by the plaintiffs; construing the SA commercially established the defendant as beneficial owner of the allotted shares and precluded implied resulting or constructive trusts in favour of the plaintiffs; the loans were from the 2nd plaintiff (not the company) and did not contravene ss 67 or 133 CA 1965 in a way that would give the plaintiffs title to the shares; therefore the plaintiffs' claim for transfer failed and th…
