In re Hutton (A Bankrupt), Mediterranean Machine Operations Ltd v Haigh and Others: ChD 1969

Proceedings were instituted against a trustee in bankruptcy after he had seized an aircraft claimed by the plaintiff.
Held: There is no right to sue an officer of the court in another court, without the sanction of the court, which appointed him.
The Court may itself dispose of an issue where ‘although no bankruptcy point is involved the question directly affects the administration of what are undoubtedly assets of the bankrupt.’
The court treated retrospective leave in insolvency as a thing capable of being granted and as requiring no particular discussion.
