Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Oo Tuesday, Mr. R. Montgomery . White, Q.C., president of the Transport Arbitration Tribunal, refused to allow the liquidators of Hauliers, Ltd., to be joined with the British Transport Commission as respondents in proceedings started by Alexander Wilcox and Co., Ltd., Liverpool.
