But it can also be as simple as recognising a colleague is facing challenges in their health or personal circumstances – perhaps by sending them home. In the case of Re The Great Annual Savings Co Ltd, the Court concluded (at [132]) that the mechanism used to generate the benefits under the Plan (commonly referred to as the ‘restructuring surplus’) was effectively the eradication of debt owed to HMRC and prioritising of payments to various unsecured creditors at HMRC’s expense.

Your effectiveness, efficiency, patient safety, productivity as a team, these are all linked to people being able to contribute to the best of their abilities,’ says Prof Banfield. In contrast, it appears that in other cases such as Re Nasmyth Group Ltd and Re The Great Annual Savings Co Ltd, the Court has taken less of a strict reactive approach. Fair’s Fair continues to fulfil Adrian Mitchell’s description of Susan Utting’s work: “Her poems are musical, magical and have a clarity which goes straight to the heart”.Boliver proposes that the ‘meritocratic equality of opportunity model’ should be supplanted by a ‘meritocratic equity of opportunity model’ which prioritises distributive over procedural fairness. Drawing on well-established principles in schemes of arrangement, the court has absolute discretion over whether to refuse to sanction a plan even though the necessary procedural requirements have been met. Whilst there may be inconsistency between cases as to the exact test applied, what is clear is that the Court is motivated to ensure that any sanctioned Plan is not only capable of successful implementation, but that it reflects a rational deal vis-à-vis all relevant stakeholders whilst simultaneously recognising that not everyone can, or will, receive ideally what they would like.

While every doctor wants to do their best for each patient, the current reality in the UK is that medicine is fraught with dilemmas and competing claims. To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. This is not an implausible exchange (listen to BBC 5Live on any Saturday, you'll hear versions of this).It is fairly short and easy to read, and would be suitable for readers who are gaining confidence in reading on their own, or for reading aloud. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. The cost of the Pleasure Gardens was a major issue, taken up by the Conservative Party and the right-wing press. This “ test of fairness” tends to manifest in one of two ways: (i) a prerequisite to sanction that the Court examines in all cases (the “ proactive approach”; see, for example, Re Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd [2020] EWHC 2376 (Ch), Re Gategroup Guarantee Ltd [2021] EWHC 775 (Ch) and Re Hong Kong Airlines Ltd); or (ii) a ground for challenge which provides a basis for additional Court scrutiny and activates the Court’s discretion to refuse sanction (the “ reactive approach”; see, for example, Re Houst Ltd [2022] EWHC 1941 (Ch), Re Nasmyth Group Ltd and Re The Great Annual Savings Co Ltd). This is closer to the “vertical comparator” used in CVA unfair prejudice claims and is particularly interesting to analyse in circumstances where there is nothing to prohibit a Plan from departing from the statutory waterfall of priorities in an insolvent administration or liquidation (i.

One of my favorite Christmas stories;Garfield's stories are so piquant, earthy, whimsical, and full of adventurous adventures. Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. Themes and stories chain-react and echo throughout the book in Utting’s trademark rich vocabulary, strong rhythms and distinctive patterns of sound. The Drummer Boy (1970) was another adventure story, but concerned more with a central moral problem, and apparently aimed at somewhat older readers, a trend continued in The Prisoners of September (1975) republished in 1989 by Lions Tracks, under the title Revolution!It seems apparent from these cases that fairness, whilst still considered and ruled upon by the Court, is perhaps scrutinised less in the absence of creditor opposition, coming back to the notion confirmed early on in Part 26A’s lifetime that “ properly informed creditors who have sufficient time to consider the proposal and voting at a fairly conducted meeting are very likely to be the best judges of their own commercial interests” (see Re Pizza Express Financing 2 Plc [2020] EWHC 3933 (Ch) at [17], which referred back to Lindley LJ’s guidance in Re English, Scottish and Australian Charter Bank (1893) 3 Ch 385).
