The Tradepower case was decided by the Court of Final Appeal in November 2009. In the ten years since the decision, it has become one of the most cited cases and has significantly changed the landscape for insolvency recovery actions. This lecture given by the practitioners conducting the case, Mr. Anson Wong SC of Des Voeux Chambers and Mr. Ludwig Ng of ONC Lawyers, will tell the story of this landmark case, explain the practical and legal issues that were overcome and the implications of this case for insolvency practitioners.
