Judgement for the case Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale v Islington LBC

Table Of Contents

Lord BW

  • He disagrees with the decision in Chase

    • It was based on a concept of retaining an equitable property in money where, prior to the payment to the recipient bank, there was no existing equitable interest

    • I cannot understand how the recipient's "conscience" can be affected at a time when he is not aware of any mistake

    • The judge found that the law of England and that of New York were in substance the same.

      • WRONG: NYC uses a remedial CT whereas English law only recognises an institutional CT.
