Defendants Skeleton Argument

Decision:

1.  Recusal - denied

2. Buchler to be examined and documents to be produced - denied

3. Strike out on grounds that Claims are vested in Trustee - granted

BUT decision that any claims asserted by Petrosurance and Candon do not vest in Trustee

AND Hardy may apply to represent Petrosurance in his capacity as Director should it assert claims in the UK.

4. Leave to appeal refused.

Order to be drafted by Counsel for Defendants.


Immediate consequence:

Buchler's sole partner now obliged to resign as Trustee for conflict of interest as she had written confirming she would await the Court's decision as to whether claims have vested.
