Link Lending Ltd v Hussain and another [2010] EWCA Civ 424; [2010] WLR (D) 103
“A person, who had been taken into psychiatric care under s3 of the Mental Health Act 1983 and had been involuntarily placed elsewhere, was still in actual occupation of her own home under the land registration legislation. Where therefore the owner, lacking legal capacity, had transferred the property to a swindler for no consideration and the swindler had secured a loan on the property from a lender which he had failed to repay, the lender as the registered chargee was not entitled to dispossess her on the ground that she was not in actual occupation of her home.”

“The definition of market abuse in s 118 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 did not require the person engaging in the behaviour in question to have intended to abuse the market and accordingly it was not essential for such an intention or purposes to be present for behaviour to fall below the objective standards expected. Moreover, the regulatory regime introduced by the Act and its Code of Conduct did not offend against the principle of legal certainty, once it was appreciated that the provisions of the Code, other than those falling within s 122(1) of the Act, were intended to have no more than evidential effect.”

Khatri v Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank BA [2010] EWCA Civ 397; [2010] WLR (D) 100
“Where an application for summary judgment turned on the terms of a written contract, it did not follow that the factual matrix of the contractual relationship could only be determined by a full trial with discovery, evidence and cross-examination of witnesses. If there was no conflict of evidence on a relevant point of background matrix, it was only when there really were reasonable grounds for supposing that a fuller investigation of the facts as to the background might make a difference to construction that the court should decline to construe the contract on a summary judgment (including a strike out) application.”

R v Modjiri [2010] EWCA Crim 829; [2010] WLR (D) 99
“The concern of s 79(3) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 is limited to the valuation of property and does not extend to the realisation of property, so that it does not have to be assumed that a beneficial interest in property has to be sold separately from the property and, for the purposes of making a confiscation order, the correct basis on which to proceed is to take into account the due proportion of the proceeds which the defendant would receive on sale of the property.”
