Court of Session Inner House First Division.

Thursday, October 30. 1884.

22 SLR 26

Blair (Official Liquidator of the Greenock Property Investment Company)

v.

M'Clure and Caird.

Subject_1Public Company
Subject_2Liquidation
Subject_3List of Contributories
Subject_4Fraud — Reduction.
Facts:

In the liquidation of a building society under the Companies Acts, A objected to a motion by the liquidator craving that bis name be settled on the list of contributories, on the ground that he had been induced to accept a transfer of his shares by false and fraudulent representations upon the part of the officials, to the effect that no liability attached to them, whereas it now appeared that they were borrowing shares, and that his name was to be entered on the list of contributories in respect of them. Held that before A could successfully resist the motion of the liquidator, the deed of transfer must be set aside by an action of reduction.

Counsel:

Counsel for Liquidator — R. V. Campbell. Agent— W. B. Glen, S. S. C.

Counsel for M'Clure and Caird — Graham Murray. Agents— Smith & Mason, S.S.C.

1884
