TypeCivilPosturePlaintiff seeks to join proposed parties as defendants or interested parties in a suit against the defendants.CoramJ. B. HAVELOCK
Holding
The proposed parties' presence is not necessary for a complete and final decision on the issues raised herein, and their Notice of Motion is dismissed.
Facts
The proposed parties are directors and shareholders of the 1st Defendant, who were below the age of majority when certain transactions were made. The transactions were allegedly made on behalf of the proposed parties, who have since reached majority.
Issues
- Validity of the resolution appointing the 3rd Defendant as trustee.
- Validity of transactions entered into for the proposed parties' benefit while they were minors.
Reasoning
The proposed parties' issue regarding the validity of the resolution is irrelevant to the suit. The rule in Royal British Bank v Turquand applies, and the proposed parties cannot contribute to the issues between the Plaintiff and the Defendants.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs to the Plaintiff.
Orders
- Dismissed the proposed parties' Notice of Motion with costs.
