‘In Irwin Mitchell Trust Corporation v PW & Anor [2024] EWCOP 16, Irwin Mitchell Trust Corporation (“IMTC”) had been appointed as property and affairs deputy for a woman, PW. In that capacity, IMTC appointed Irwin Mitchell Asset Management (“IMAM”) to manage the investment of PW’s funds. The issue for determination by HHJ Hilder was whether the appointment of IMAM by IMTC as PW’s deputy breached the rules against conflict of interest.’
