The defendant brought motions for leave to amend his counterclaim to add a claim for misappropriation of founder shares, for substituted service, and for document production.
The court dismissed the motion to amend, finding the defendant lacked standing to assert a claim on behalf of his nominee corporation and that the dispute was subject to an international arbitration agreement.
The request for substituted service was also dismissed due to a lack of evidence of impracticability.
However, the court ordered the plaintiff to produce relevant corporate documents within his power.
