Client/Legal Alert
1 August 2011
The Victorian Supreme Court recently struck out allegations made by the liquidator of Environinvest Ltd against the company's former directors on the ground that the allegations pleaded did not disclose a proper foundation or basis. In reaching its decision, the Court relied on section 18 of the Civil Procedure Act 2010 (Vic) (CP Act), and stated that "a liquidator is not excused from the obligations imposed on all litigants who commence proceedings in this and other courts."
