“The amount of a creditor’s claim against a company in administration and the characterisation of the company’s debt to the creditor were to be assessed under r 2.38(4) and (5) of the Insolvency Rules 1986 at the date of the administration, not the date of the creditors’ meeting, but the chairman’s powers of quantification under rr 2.39(1) and (3) and 2.38(5) were to be exercised taking into account events which had occurred since the administration.”

Progress Property Co Ltd v Moorgarth Group Ltd [2010] UKSC 55; [2010] WLR (D) 218
“The sale of a company’s assets to a shareholder was not an unlawful distribution of assets if the court concluded that it was a genuine commercial transaction at arm’s length even if it appeared with hindsight that the sale was at an undervalue. The court’s conclusion depended on a realistic assessment of all the relevant facts and not simply on a retrospective valuation exercise in isolation from all other inquiries. The essential issue was how the transaction was to be characterised, and that was a matter of substance and not form.”

“The relationship of a parliamentary election court to the High Court was such that it was to be regarded as an inferior tribunal so that its actions could be the subject of judicial review; and the jurisdiction in judicial review of an election court was not confined to an excess of jurisdiction in the narrow sense but extended to correcting errors in its application of the law.”
