The Case
In circumstances where two minors were the sole directors of companies the subject of an action for trade mark infringement and passing off, and where those two minors were appointed as such by their father in bankruptcy, it was not unarguable that the father was in control of those companies thus entitling the court to join him as a defendant to the action.
