- High Court
The statement of claim was struck out because the plaintiff has no reasonably arguable cause of action that the Family Court lacked jurisdiction or that defendant breached duties in distributing funds in accordance with sealed Family Court orders and the plaintiff's irrevocable instructions; however limited leave to amend was granted solely to plead any arguable claim about wrongful or delayed retention of the $200,000 paid into the defendant's trust account.
