Crystalens Ltd v White
[2006] EWHC 3357 (Comm)
Key Principle
A company director does not incur personal tortious liability for procuring or inducing his company's breach of its own contract where he acts bona fide within the scope of his authority and constitutional role; an ambiguous passage in the then-current Clerk & Lindsell on Torts suggesting wider liability was disapproved.
