Pollard and Another v Ashurst: ChD 16 Mar 2000

Where a bankrupt was joint owner of property abroad but within the European Community, an English court could order the property to be sold and the proceeds paid to the trustee. Such an order could not be made against the land itself, but could be effective against the bankrupt in personam. The bankrupt and his wife could be ordered to sell the property at the best price reasonably obtainable, or to require the conveyance of the property to the trustee.
