Trafalgar Multi Asset Trading Company Ltd (in liquidation) v Hadley and others [2023] EWHC 1184 (Ch), [2023] All ER (D) 80 (May) What are the practical implications of this case? Echoing Financial Conduct Authority v Avocade Ltd [2021] EWCA Civ 1206 and Adams v Options UK Personal Pensions LLP [2021] EWCA Civ 474, this dispute concerns losses borne by pension savers after their transferred monies were placed into inappropriate, high‑risk assets. A notable distinction here is that the claimant was the corporate vehicle through which the savers’ funds were invested, acting by its liquidators. The claim may ultimately enable some recovery of pension savings without individual members, or the FCA, having to commence proceedings. The relevant events date from 2014 to 2016, and it is hoped that changes since then have curtailed the likelihood of transfers into comparable arrangements. In particular, an overseas investment would now trigger an amber flag under The Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Conditions for Transfers) Regulations 2021, SI 2021/1237, so a member would...
Introduction This Practice Note sets out the principal UK tax and legal issues that can arise where an end user intends to provide shares, share options or other forms of equity to an individual in another jurisdiction who is engaged under an arrangement with an employer of record or a professional employer organisation. It looks at both perspectives: a UK end user offering equity to people overseas, and a non-UK end user granting equity to individuals situated in the UK. In every case, the particular rules and regimes of the relevant overseas territories must also be assessed. For a template that an end user can use to grant a share option to an individual engaged via an employer of record arrangement, see Precedent: Standalone unapproved share option agreement for a worker engaged via an employer of record. What is an employer of record structure? ...
Good character requirement Pursuant to section 6(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981 (BNA 1981) and Sch 1, para 1(1)(b), anyone seeking naturalisation as a British citizen is required to be of good character.
