Deloughery v Weston

The New South Wales Court of Appeal considered an application by Deloughery, the liquidator of a company, against Weston. The dispute concerned the liquidator's right to pursue certain claims against Weston.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the liquidator had standing to bring the proceedings against Weston. This involved determining the scope of the liquidator's powers and the nature of the claims being advanced.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the application, finding that the liquidator lacked the necessary standing to pursue the claims as framed. The Court remitted an interlocutory application previously heard by Barrett J to the Equity Division for further consideration.
