Earlier this year, the Supreme Court delivered its landmark ruling on limitation, THG plc v Zedra Trust Company (Jersey) Ltd [2026] UKSC 6. Philpott writes that ‘the bottom line is’ the court held there is no limitation period for an unfair prejudice petition under the Companies Act 2006 and, likewise, no application of the Limitation Act 1980 to the unfair relationship provisions in ss 140A–C of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 ‘(although not directly decided by the court)’.
The decision 'has caused shockwaves', Philpott writes, and 'has a massive impact on consumer credit'. He expertly places the decision in context, exploring its ramifications and, along the way, covering the legal history of limitation as well.
Philpott writes: ‘This decision is a great example of that which our Supreme Court can produce, in an area which impacts nearly all our civil law.’
