In Shop Direct Finance Company Limited v The Official Receiver, the Commercial Court confirmed that it's the customer’s trustee in bankruptcy - in this case the Official Receiver (OR) - whose knowledge is relevant for the purpose of the time limit rule in DISP 2.8.2R(2). This is likely to be good news for firms facing complaints brought by the OR around historical mis-selling allegations (including PPI).
