Grender and others v Dresden and others: ChD 13 Feb 2009

Residents on an estate where the estate roads had come into the control of a trust administered by the residents disputed the arrangement necessary to manage the road scheme. Directions were sought for the implementation of a scheme.
Held: Objections based on the lack of a quorum at meetings in the distant past should fail as being far too late. The deed of trust did purport to manage trust assets of value, and had a clear commercial purpose.
