Company

Autogas (Europe) Ltd (in liquidation) v Ochocki and others [2018] EWHC 2345 (Ch), [2018] All ER (D) 21 (Sep)

A claim made by the claimant company, which was in liquidation, against the defendants failed, in a dispute concerning alleged dishonest assistance in the commission of a fraud. The Chancery Division held that, on the evidence, none of the defendants gave the general impression of having been dishonest.

Costs

London Borough of Lambeth v MCS and another [2018] EWCOP 20, [2018] All ER (D) 18 (Sep)

The circumstances of the case were so poor and so extreme (both in relation to institution of proceedings and their subsequent conduct) that an order for the costs of the proceedings should be borne by the applicant and second respondent. The Court of Protection so ruled, despite the fact that proceedings brought in the Court of Protection almost never attracted an enquiry into the issue of costs.

Elections

R (on the application of the Good Law Project) v Electoral Commission [2018] EWHC 2414 (Admin), [2018] All ER (D)
