Administration
Wagner v White [2018] EWHC 2882 (Ch), [2018] All ER (D) 16 (Nov)
The appellant failed in respect of his appeals against the dismissal of his application to set aside two statutory demands that were based on personal guarantees he had given concerning loans made to his company (the company), which eventually went into administration. Among other things, the Chancery Division held that there was no genuine triable issue that the respondent, concerned with one of the statutory demands, had caused the company to go into administration, as alleged, and no realistic prospect of the appellant establishing that he had.
Confidential information
ABC and others v Telegraph Media Group Ltd [2018] EWCA Civ 2329, [2018] All ER (D) 14 (Nov)
The judge had erred in refusing the interim injunction sought by the claimant companies and senior executive, relating to the defendant newspaper’s intention to publish confidential information connected with allegations of discreditable conduct by the senior executive that had been compromised by settlement agreements with five employees. Accordingly, the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, allowed the claimants’ application for an interim injunction.
