Whitbread (Hotels) Ltd and Another v Walkmore (95) Ltd: OHCS 4 Jan 2002

Where application was made to restore a company to the register, to face court action, the court should look at the issues of limitation, and at how any delays had arisen.
Held: The court should be aware of the potential prejudice created by the use of the section. In this case there was no reason why the claimant should escape the normal consequences of that part of the delay which lay at his feet.
