Capewell v Customs and Excise and Another (No 2): CA 29 Jul 2005

The Commissioners had been appointed as receiver of the claimant’s assets. The receivership was later discharged, but should have been discharged earlier, the court had the power not only to calculate the level of remuneration but also who should be responsible for making payment. In this case the commissioner should bear some of the cost. The expenses of the receiver should however be recovered from the assets.
