In the course of disqualification proceedings, a company director was found to have attempted to mislead the court. It was held that that finding could assist the court in finding that the director could be capable of misconduct. However that misconduct in court could not found a separate head of complaint under the Act, and nor could it justify an extension of the period of disqualification. The period of disqualification had to be fixed by reference to the conduct on which the original complaint was founded.
