when dealing with the duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, said that if the directors give unequivocal evidence that they had honestly believed that they had acted in the best interests of the company,17 and if that evidence was accepted, then there had been no breach.18 However, directors still have to give evidence and be cross-examined, and after all of that, and in light of the circumstances surrounding the alleged breach, it is permissible for a judge not to believe directors when they state that they believed they were acting in good faith for the benefit of the company. For instance, in Extrasure Travel Insurance Ltd v Scattergood 19 Jonathan Crow (sitting as a deputy High Court judge) did not believe the directors when they said that they believed that they were acting in the best interests of the company.
