UK: England and Wales: directors' conflicts of interest

A quick post: a copy of Peter Smith J's judgment in D Wetherspoon Plc v Van De Berg & Co Ltd & Ors [2009] EWHC 639 (Ch), handed down at the end of March, has been published on BAILII. Amongst the issues for consideration were directors' breaches of fiduciary duty. A preliminary reading of the judgment does not reveal anything startling with regard to legal principle. More interesting, perhaps, is the judge's postscript in which he comments on the length of the trial and the manner in which it was conducted.
