Description
On 8 December 2022, the Privy Council handed down their long-awaited judgment allowing the appeals of Dr Winston Wong, Riley Wong and Tony Wang in the conjoined appeals of Grand View Private Trust Co Ltd and another (Respondents) v Wong and others [2022] UKPC 47.
In this webinar Richard Wilson KC will provide an update on the judgment in the long-running case of Wong v Grand View and Ors. This judgment is following the appeal to the Privy Council. Richard was one of the leading Counsel acting in the case, acting for Tony Wang.
The case concerns a claim to recover substantial trust property transferred to a trustee of a purpose trust. The Plaintiffs succeeded in obtaining summary judgment at first instance on the ground that powers of addition and exclusion cannot be exercised in a manner which alters or destroys the substratum of the trust [2019] SC (Bda) 37 Com (5 June 2019) but this was overturned by the Bermuda Court of Appeal in April 2020 Richard acted for Tony Wang, an intervenor in the appeal.
This will be a useful update on the case. The case is of relevance to anyone advising on trusts.
