Acknowledgement of Debt in UK Law

Leading Cases
  • E D & F Man Liquid Products Ltd v Patel and Another
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 04 April 2003

  • Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC v PSI Energy Holding Company BSC (a Bahraini corporation) and Others
    • Queen's Bench Division (Commercial Court)
    • 06 December 2013

    Irrespective of the admissions made, even a cursory examination of the documentation created by the second defendant's companies and CCH demonstrates that it cannot relate to genuine transactions. The range of goods ostensibly sold by PSI Middle East is staggering: jetting pumps, bunker fuel, packing machines, chiller plants together with vast quantities of aluminium sheet and steel beams.

  • Hopper v Hopper and Another
    • Chancery Division
    • 19 February 2008

    She did not therefore become an 'outgoing partner' within the meaning of section 42(1) upon her husband's death. For the reasons which I have already given, the practical effect of section 42(1) has been displaced by an agreement to the contrary, namely that pending that final winding up, the continuing profits of the market partnership are to be divided in the same shares as those which subsisted before Mr Hopper's death.

  • Barnetson v Framlington Group Ltd and Another
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 24 May 2007

    The critical feature of proximity for this purpose, it seems to me, is one of the subject matter of the dispute rather than how long before the threat, or start, of litigation it was aired in negotiations between the parties. On that approach, which I would commend, the crucial consideration would be whether in the course of negotiations the parties contemplated or might reasonably have contemplated litigation if they could not agree.
