Bankrupts as share brokers in Leeds in Huddersfield and Bradford Union Railway case
In a bankruptcy case from Leeds, sharebrokers bought shares in the Huddersfield and Bradford Union Railway by order of the petitioner. A scrip note indicated payment on script delivery. A price surge led to a sale, with £149 10s profit alleged. scrip shares circulated to an amalgamated undertaking. The commissioner refused proof, finding no valid contract as the scrip did not represent an independent company and the equity failed. The court preserved issues for trial in London.
