- Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeal held the Associate Judge erred in striking out the Fair Trading Act claim and declaring it unable to succeed because on the material available the pleading could be amended and there was a reasonably arguable case that the use of the solicitors' trust account and associated communications could have misled investors and that accessory/dishonest assistance allegations were arguable; summary disposal was premature and further evidence was permitted.
