UK Communication Ltd v Nahim and another, Chancery Division

The claimant was the liquidator of a company which had traded in mobile telephones.

In 2006, the defendant company, R, was involved in trading arrangements which indicated VAT fraud, in that payments were made to third parties rather than to the claimant company.

The claimant issued proceedings against the defendants for breach of constructive trust against R and its director, claiming the value of the payments that should have been made to it.

The court ruled that the claimant had made out its case to the requisite standard of proof. Judgment was entered for the claimant.
