  • Bouck v Bouck

    18 Apr 1866 LR 2 Eq 19, Equity

    PLEADING — Demurrer — Multifariousness.
    LORD ROMILLY, M.R.:— I think the objection is one of substance. The distinction is very obvious between this case and those cases where there is an ascertained fund in the hands of a trustee, and there are three or four persons claiming it. There, unquestionably, a person may file a Bill against the trustee for the purpose of obtaining payment of that ascertained fund, making all the other persons claiming parties to the suit; and the trustee may, in order to get rid of the matter, say, “Allow me my costs, and let me pay the money into Court.” Or

    COMPANY — Compulsory Winding-up — Preponderating Influence of a Shareholder.
    SIR W. PAGE WOOD, V.C.:— This is a case in which, there being a conflict between the parties, it appearing that there are matters to be investigated, it is manifest that there is an overwhelming influence on the part of a single director. Mr. Vanzeller, in his affidavit, says he was not the owner of the concern. But he admits that he was the creditor of Page. He says “Page was the manager of the business; he was the owner of the goodwill and of the leasehold interest which was sold to the company; but he was my debtor.” Apparently

    SIR J. STUART, V.C.:— In order to render a contract, or an agreement of any kind, binding, there must be the assent of both parties to the agreement under such circumstances as to shew that there was no pressure — no influence existing of a kind to make the assent an imperfect assent, or an assent which, under other circumstances, would have been refused. If the assent to the agreement is not an assent given under such circumstances as that both parties are on an equal footing, and the agreement one perfectly free from any influence or pressure, in the

    07 May 1866 LR 2 Eq 205, Equity

    ADMINISTRATION — Debt barred by Statute of Limitations — Waiver of Statute by Executor after Decree for Administration.
    LORD ROMILLY, M.R.:— As the administratrix chooses to waive the objection of the statute I shall not raise it, but it must be understood that the administratrix acts at her own risk, and not under the sanction of the Court. The order to vary the certificate must state that the administratrix does not raise the objection, and that the next of kin, who are parties to the suit, or have been served with the decree, consent to the payment of the debts.
