Shareholders & Reflective Loss - A Workshop for Litigators

Introduction

The rule against reflective loss is an important principle - and a potential trap for the unwary - which affects whether a shareholder can sue a wrongdoer when the company has also suffered loss.

Presented by Narinder Jhittay of Maitland Chambers, this new virtual classroom is aimed primarily at litigators who find themselves acting for or against shareholders.

By working through practical scenarios, Narinder will provide guidance on how to identify whether the rule is engaged and what the consequences may be for potential claimants and defendants.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

• When the rule applies following Marex v Sevilleja
• How the current understanding differs from previous authorities
• Recent examples of cases in which the rule has been considered
• The stage at which the rule falls to be considered in litigation
• Alternative routes of redress for shareholders who are barred

Recording of live sessions: Soon after the Learn Live session has taken place you will be able to go back and access the recording - should you wish to revisit the material discussed.
