2021 Development In Quincecare
Date: 06/01/2022 Type: Articles Community Magazine Topic: FIRE | Insolvency | Civil Fraud | International | Enforcement | Offshore | Asset Recovery |Author: Kit Smith and Justina Stewart
The Supreme Court’s 2019 decision in Singularis1, the first in which a breach of Quincecare duty2 was found, brought about a rejuvenated appetite for a duty that had lain relatively dormant for decades. This year’s cases have further tested the limits and application of the duty.
Trends In Fraud 2021

This year has seen a number of cases in which the courts have had to grapple with novel issues arising in fraud disputes. This article explores three trends to have emerged: (1) limits to the Serious Fraud Office’s (SFO) extraterritorial reach; (2) the interaction between criminal restraint orders (CROs) and worldwide freezing orders (WFOs); and (3) the, perhaps unsurprising, continuing rise in cases involving cryptocurrency and crypto fraud.

Q: What would you be doing if you weren’t in this profession?
A: My answer to this question has shifted each decade I have spent in the profession. My boyhood dream was to be a Formula 1 motor racing driver. Sadly I had neither the talent nor the funding to be able to achieve that. Nowadays, I could picture myself in the Italian mountains. I’d be in the Sella Ronda, running a small family cycle/ski hotel. In the summer, I would spend my days on a bike guiding guests through spectacular mountain passes and climbs, and during the winter, I would do the same, but on skis.

Q: What would you be doing if you weren’t in this profession?
A: I started my career in international development and would have probably continued on that path had I not come across investigations. At the time, I was also considering applying to the Portuguese Foreign Ministry to pursue a career as a diplomat. But I think I would make a decent child’s party planner. I am creative and visual by nature and have a blast conceptualizing my kids’ ideas for their special day. I also do make a mean margarita so maybe an adjacent tequila bar to my party planning studio could be on the cards.

Q: What would you be doing if youweren’t in this profession?
A: I am completely obsessed with maps so were I not a lawyer, I think I would have been involvedin cartography in some way. Either that or a weather woman. I’m always hoping for a map related fraud case...but I think I might be waiting for some time!

Q: What would you be doing if you weren’t in this profession?
A: In some ways, it would be easier to say what I would not have been. Before becoming a lawyer, I worked in banking and insurance but they did not grab my attention. I think I would either have been a historian as I am fascinated by the past – a good job at my age! – and our continual failure to learn from mistakes that have been repeatedly made during the course of history or, dare I say it, a politician. However, I think any political career would have been short-lived as it appears that strategic thinking and an ability to actually answer questions are traits that do not sit comfortably with being a successful politician.
