 Everything Must Go! Wrongful Trading, Misfeasance and BHS

Highlights

What to do when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, and insolvency is steaming down the tracks? This webinar will examine the law on wrongful trading and misfeasance in light of the recent judgment in Wright v Chappell [2024] EWHC 1417 (Ch), arising from one of the most high-profile UK corporate insolvencies of recent times (British Home Stores), and the panellists will interrogate the impact of this judgment across their three different jurisdictions.

Bradley Gibb
Associate (Jersey)
Collas Crill

Since joining the team Bradley has assisted and advised on a number of high profile matters and cases at the forefront of legal developments on the island. Most notably:

Representation of B and C [2022] JRC 086: an application for the removal of a protector from a series of trusts with a value of over US$300m. These trusts in turn form part of a global structure that has a value of approximately US$1bn.

Advocate B and C v Law Society of Jersey [2022] JRC037: the successful appeal of a sanction imposed on a Jersey advocate by the Disciplinary Committee of the Law Society of Jersey. The first successful appeal of its kind on the island, and one that resulted in a landmark judgment.

The successful appeal of an enforcement notice from the Department of Infrastructure, Housing and the Environment which resulted in the enforcement notice being repealed. This was in respect of properties with a collective value of approximately £10m.

Re Estate of Constantin Mattas [2022] JRC 237: assisting with successfully securing a ground-breaking order for substituted service on a foreign state in proceedings relating to a will trust
