A London appeals court upheld a High Court ruling involving two solicitors and a former senior tax manager who allegedly created a scheme to exclude beneficiaries from Jersey trusts. This scheme was considered a 'huge commercial opportunity' to misappropriate an estimated £278 million. Concurrently, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is attempting to revive its misconduct case against Dentons regarding alleged breaches of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. The SRA contends that a tribunal had misinterpreted the legal principles involved in the case. The appeal also references precedents set by Beckwith and Leigh Day.
