Beale Bitesize

As part of our Special Risks Week, Martin Jensen and Zoe White take an in-depth look into the High Court decision in Denaxe Limited v Cooper & Anor [2022], which was upheld by the Court of Appeal earlier this year.

The decision in the case, on which Martin and Zoe successfully acted, is significant for court appointed receivers, trustees and insolvency office-holders in providing guidance as to the extent to which they may be insulated from subsequent claims seeking to challenge the reasonableness of a strategy which has received the court’s prior approval.
