The court struck out the plaintiff's claim as plainly unsustainable because the core claims were statute‑barred under the Limitation Act 1953 and the pleaded allegations of fraudulent trading and unjust enrichment failed to disclose sufficient particulars or any nexus to the challenged defendants (company secretary, auditor and Horntian). Absent evidence of dishonest intent and positive participation, liability under s540 could not be established and the suit had no reasonable prospect of success, warranting summary dismissal and costs.
