The Chancery Division ruled that a number of defendants were liable for, among other things, dishonestly assisting in a breach of trust and for unconscionable receipt concerning a substantial fraud in which a Swiss company had been defrauded out of €100m. However, the court held that not all of the claimants’ allegations, including of deceit, had been made out on the evidence.
