案情

In 1982 Peter Meyrick and Mr Van Poucke decided to cooperate in a business venture. Roland Van Poucke was already operating a business on the Continent called Huktra NV ("NV"), a Belgian company, concerned with the carriage of chemicals. Mr Meyrick and Mr Van Poucke decided to form a new company in the United Kingdom, Huktra UK ("UK"), which would operate with NV in cross channel carriage of chemicals into and out of the United Kingdom and into and out of the Continent. Mr Meyrick and Mr Van Poucke took directorships and shareholdings in each other's companies. The effect of such cross shareholdings and cross directorships was that in the early days the two companies were operating in partnership.
