Task Description:
Students may not repeat material across assessments in this course, or repeat material used in any other courses. You may not do the same topic for two assessments (e.g., you cannot write about Westerns, for example, in both essays). All essays should show evidence of independent research.
Critically evaluate the basis upon which courts award and assess damages in lieu of injunction. To what extent is the approach in HKRUK (CHC) Ltd v Heaney [2010] EWHC 2245 (Ch) open to valid criticism?
Law
Students must answer one question (from a choice of three) in Part A and one question (from a choice of four) in Part B.
Part A: 3. ‘For the claimant seeking to trace their misappropriated assets, it will be as a last resort that they look instead to claim against a stranger to the trust.
Liability in equity is notoriously difficult to establish, with concepts such as
knowledge and dishonesty far from definitively understood and applied’.
With reference to cases and the views of academic commentators, critically
discuss this statement.
Part B: 5. Critically evaluate the basis upon which courts award and assess damages in
lieu of injunction. To what extent is the approach in HKRUK (CHC) Ltd v
Heaney [2010] EWHC 2245 (Ch) open to valid criticism?

Students must answer one question (from a choice of three) in Part
A and one question (from a choice of four) in Part B
PART A
- Jet is the sole, lay trustee of the Black Trust, established in 2020, whereby £2
million was settled for the benefit of the settlor’s children. In recent times, Jet
has undertaken the following actions:
i) he invested £30,000 in cryptocurrency, which is now valued at £10,000.
He sought advice prior to the investment from his 16-year-old son, Harris;
ii) he insisted on being paid £15,000 per year for his services to the Trust;
iii) he received a secret commission of £10,000 from Tony for ensuring that
the trust hired Tony’s company to build a new home for the beneficiaries;
iv) while unsuccessfully negotiating a business opportunity for the Trust, Jet
decided to put up his own funds and take advantage of that opportunity
himself. He has already made a profit of £20,000;
v) he wrongly paid out £30,000 to Cliff, who produced a forged birth
certificate that purported to show that he was a child of the settlor.
Advise the Trust. It has been made clear that Jet intends to invoke s.61 of the
Trustee Act 1925 and the Trust wishes to know whether Jet is likely to succeed
with that defence. - Beneficiaries of the St James’ Trust are concerned that its trustee, Myke, has
not been able to account for all of its trust funds and assets. The sum of
£100,000 and a solid silver trophy are missing and unaccounted for.
In November last year, Myke sold the silver trophy to Jonjo and placed the
proceeds of sale (£15,000) into his own current account. Myke was overdrawn
at the time and the deposit of the sale proceeds raised the balance of the
account to £5,000 overdrawn. Two weeks prior to the sale of the trophy, Myke
had used his overdraft facility to fund the purchase of a large toy helicopter at
a cost of £20,000.
Two months ago, Myke had £10,000 of his own funds in his current account
before placing £100,000 of St James’ Trust funds into the same account, in
breach of trust. The balance of the account then stood at £110,000.
Myke proceeded to make three withdrawals. He purchased £10,000 of shares
in Krafth Ltd, which quickly doubled in value. He spent £70,000 on a business
trip to Saudi Arabia, staying in the finest hotels. The remaining £30,000 he
gifted to his friend Amanda. Amanda received the money in good faith and
used it to finance an extension to her luxury Tyneside villa.
The beneficiaries of St James’ Trust seek your advice as to whether they may
bring any personal or proprietary claims. Explaining the relevant rules and
principles, advise the beneficiaries.
How would your advice differ (if at all) had the £10,000 balance available two
months ago in Myke’s account not been his, but funds misappropriated from
another trust? - ‘For the claimant seeking to trace their misappropriated assets, it will be as a
last resort that they look instead to claim against a stranger to the trust.
Liability in equity is notoriously difficult to establish, with concepts such as
knowledge and dishonesty far from definitively understood and applied’.
With reference to cases and the views of academic commentators, critically
discuss this statement.
PART B - Lars is the freehold owner of a small entertainment complex, comprising an
art house cinema and a Danish themed restaurant. Prior to the pandemic,
Lars had entered into an agreement with Thure to purchase a retail unit to the
north of the complex enabling him to expand his services. He had also
successfully found a tenant, Ulrich, to run the cinema, leaving him (Lars) free
to manage the restaurant. In negotiating the terms of the lease, Lars entered
into a covenant that he would keep the restaurant open around film times,
putting Ulrich’s mind to rest that the cinema would attract sufficient local
custom. Ulrich agreed that he would keep the property in good repair and that
he would carry out some renovations to the back of the building, adding some
additional spaces for parking.
Lars now seeks your advice. He has been forced to close the restaurant on
Monday and Tuesday each week which are very quiet days. He had been
convinced that the acquisition of the retail unit would help with trade, but
Thure (citing his own economic hardship) no longer wishes to sell the unit to
Lars. Lars is unhappy with Ulrich because he (Ulrich) has yet to start his
building work and has allowed parts of the cinema to deteriorate substantially.
Making detailed reference to case law, and outlining any additional
information you require (if any), advise Lars. - Critically evaluate the basis upon which courts award and assess damages in
lieu of injunction. To what extent is the approach in HKRUK (CHC) Ltd v
Heaney [2010] EWHC 2245 (Ch) open to valid criticism? - To what extent have the courts been successful in developing clear, coherent
and consistent guidance for judges hearing applications for interim
injunctions? In your answer, you should refer to the views of judges and
academic commentators. - ‘In an interim application for injunctive relief to restrain the misuse of private
information, the court is not looking for the balance of convenience and a very
different and higher threshold test applies. Nonetheless, the press can now be
confident that where such an injunction is granted, the court will have had
principled reasons for doing so, supported by a growing body of case law
precedent’.

Summarize Terman’s research methodology in 2-3 sentences.In what ways were the “Termites” remarkable and unremarkable compared to the average population?
In 1921 Lewis Terman began his study of 1,000 gifted children, in one of the longest and most interesting longitudinal studies of our time! He gathered information about these people (overwhelmingly White males and females) through test scores and interviews, throughout their lifetime to gather information about their lives and show that those children identified as “intelligent” were destined for greatness. He also held the belief that this intelligence was innate, or hereditary and proposed identifying these children to foster their success for the betterment of society. But was Terman right?Original CommentAfter reading Open Stax 7.6 – Sources of intelligence, you will also read The Vexing Legacy of Lewis Terman (Stanford Magazine). Then answer these questions to demonstrate your understanding of the origins of intelligence and its relationship with success:Summarize Terman’s research methodology in 2-3 sentences.In what ways were the “Termites” remarkable and unremarkable compared to the average population?What were the 3 big differences between the most and least successful “Termites”?Does research on the “Termites” conclusively show that intelligence is a predictor of success?How has this research impacted your mindset about intelligence?
