Description
Director liable for Company pursuing hopeless Counterclaim. Rimer J. held that where companies had irresponsibly pursued a hopeless counterclaim on the instructions and for the benefit of a controlling director, that director was made liable, jointly and severally with the companies, to pay the costs of the proceedings on the indemnity basis. It was an exceptional case in which the director was in substance the, or at least a, real party to the proceedings from start to finish.
