18 February 2011 - Commercial Court refuses application in Capita Alternative Fund Services (Guernsey) Ltd v Drivers Jonas

Andrew Simmonds QC has acted successfully for the Claimant trustee in Capita Alternative Fund Services (Guernsey) Ltd v Drivers Jonas, a Commercial Court negligence action against the valuers of a factory outlet centre purchased by an enterprise zone unit trust. The Defendant's application to strike out the claim on the grounds that the trust had been invalidly exported to Guernsey (so that no claim was vested in the Guernsey trustee) was successfully resisted.
