Perpetual Trustee Co Ltd v BNY Corporate Trustee Services Ltd and another; Belmont Park Investments Pty Ltd v Same [2009] EWHC 1912 (Ch); [2009] WLR (D) 262

 “Although a contractual provision which had the effect of requiring a person who had become insolvent to be deprived of an asset conflicted with the principle that an insolvent’s assets would be available for distribution among his creditors and would generally be unenforceable, the principle did not invalidate contractual provisions which had the effect of prejudicing creditors of a company in the event of insolvency by the actual or effective removal of an asset from the insolvent estate.”
