Extract

Twinsectra Ltd. v. Yardley [1999] Lloyd’s Rep. Bank. 438, a unanimous decision of the Court of Appeal, illustrates the various liabilities of a fiduciary who obtains money by a fraudulent misrepresentation. Apart from liability at law for deceit, he may be liable in equity as a resulting trustee or the claimant may rescind the transaction for fraud. This note asks how real the differences are between these two equitable means of reversing the unjust enrichment of the fiduciary.
