Re Yates (A Bankrupt): 2004

The court considered the application of the limitation to a claim by a trustee in bankruptcy to set aside a transaction at an undervalue.
Held: Charles J: ‘If there is a limitation period, the passages in Muir Hunter suggest that in the case of a claim by a trustee in bankruptcy begins to run from the date of the bankruptcy order. Counsel for the trustee made the same submission on the basis that that is the date when the cause of action accrued to the trustee. I agree.’
