High Court dismisses liquidator's dishonest assistance and fraudulent trading claims, rejecting all allegations of dishonesty

Andrew Cooke, Richard Mendoza and Tracey Lattimer of HSF Kramer report that the High Court has dismissed in full a liquidator’s dishonest assistance and fraudulent trading claims against First Curaçao International Bank and its former president John Deuss, holding that much of the case was time-barred and reaffirming the high threshold for proving dishonesty—while clarifying that the General Rolling Stock principle does not extend to foreign insolvency proceedings.
