Regularly appearing before the English courts and in offshore jurisdictions, Maitland Chambers members are experienced in pursuing and defending high-profile civil fraud claims involving conspiracy, deceit, and breaches of fiduciary duty by trustees or directors. In Gibraltar, Richard Morgan KC represents the claimant in Tolkynneftegaz LLP v Terra Raf Trans Trading Ltd, Statie and Others, resisting the defendants’ jurisdictional challenges and strike-out applications in a $500m fraud case related to the operation of Kazakh gas fields. David Mumford KC acts for the Legal & General group of claimants in FSMA s.90 and s.90A claims against Glencore, alleging that the commodities trading and mining conglomerate failed to disclose instances of bribery and corruption in its operations in the Democractic Republic of Congo and other jurisdictions. At the junior level, Caley Wright has been defending Simon Hume-Kendall and Helen Hume-Kendall in London Capital & Finance PLC (in administration) and another v Thomson and others, a £179m claim related to the allegedly misleading sale of mini-bonds.
