AC v DC and Others (Financial Remedy: Effect of S37 Avoidance Order) (No 1): FD 19 Jul 2012

The effect of an order under section 37 is to annul or ‘avoid’ the transaction under attack. Moreover, the bad intention to defeat the principal ancillary relief claim is presumed for transactions done within the three year period before the avoidance claim. There is no time limit on attackable transactions. A transaction done 20 years earlier is, at any rate in theory, capable of being annulled.
