Abstract

This paper considers a recent judgment in the High Court Chancery Division, which clarified how GBP-foreign currency exchange rates were to be determined by the administrators of a firm under the Insolvency Rules. This judgment provides a robust and practical precedent for other cases of administration, liquidation or bankruptcy falling under the Insolvency Rules where foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are involved.
