    Court
    High Court

    Court found AJ Park was not negligent because BHC never instructed AJ Park to advise on the C-shaped stand or the flexible spreader bar and those items were not discussed at the critical meeting; AJ Park did not breach fiduciary duty by acting for Hushamok as no disclosable information relevant to BHC was used nor were BHC's IP rights impaired by Hushamok's registrations; causation failed because BHC could not show the alleged breaches would have produced the claimed financial outcomes; claim dismissed.
