Bankruptcy

Oraki and another v Bramston and another [2017] EWCA Civ 403, [2017] All ER (D) 174 (May)

The Court of Appeal dismissed the claimants’ appeal against the judge’s decision, dismissing their claims against the defendant trustees in bankruptcy for breach of duty, in particular, by prolonging the administration of the bankruptcy and frustrating attempts to annul them. It had not been open to the defendants to bring the bankruptcies to an end by the use of cash resources and they had not actively opposed the applications for the annulment of the bankruptcies.
