The
Supreme Court has published an updated list of permission to appeal decisions: see
here (
pdf). This notes that on 11 February permission was given to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision in
Jetivia SA v Bilta (UK) Ltd [2013] EWCA Civ 968. The
Court of Appeal had held, amongst other things, that
section 213 ("fraudulent trading") of the
Insolvency Act 1986 was of extraterritorial effect. It also held that a company could recover losses that it had suffered as a result of the fraud of its sole director and shareholder. In such a case the director could not rely on the maxim
ex turpi causa non oritur actio to defeat the company's claim. A summary of the Court of Appeal's decision is available
here.
