Burnden Holdings (UK) Ltd v Fielding [2018] UKSC 14

Edoardo Lupi, Barrister, South Square, London, UK

Synopsis

In Burnden Holdings (UK) Ltd v Fielding, the Supreme Court provided clear guidance regarding the application of section 21(1)(b) of the Limitation Act 1980 to company directors. In short, in contrast with express trustees, it now appears that for the purposes of section 21(1)(b) a company director will generally be treated as having 'previously received' trust property or the proceeds of trust property by virtue of being the fiduciary steward of the company’s property, such that the focus of the Court’s attention under the sub-section will principally be whether the property was 'converted to his use'.

International Corporate Rescue

"International Corporate Rescue is great. In a busy world, it covers a truly global range of restructuring topics in just the right depth, enough for an understanding of the important points, but not a lengthy mini-PhD. I find it really helpful for keeping informed about the areas I work in, and to have ‘issue awareness’ about areas further afield. I always read it."

Richard Tett, Freshfields, London Head of Restructuring & Insolvency
