- High Court
The defendants established to the required standard that none of the plaintiff's pleaded causes of action were reasonably arguable: there was no contractual basis or guarantee binding the defendants for Horizon's debt, no evidence defendants received or were entitled to the disputed funds to sustain restitutionary remedies, and the negligence claim was unpled and unsupported; contemporaneous documentation and prior solicitor correspondence corroborated the absence of liability, therefore summary judgment for the defendants was entered.
