The Case
In proceedings by which the claimant company sought the determination of a question as to the identity of the beneficiaries of two trust accounts set up to service the payment of customer deposits and of moneys due to 'urgent suppliers', the court ruled, inter alia, that, to the extent to which the company had not, by its declaration of trust, effectively created beneficial interests in the funds in favour of the beneficiaries, the company remained the beneficial owner of the funds.
