On 21 July 2020, the Irish High Court approved a scheme of arrangement for the world’s largest regional aircraft lessor Nordic Aviation Capital DAC (NAC).

1. Summary
The Supreme Court decision in Bresco Electrical Services Ltd (In Liquidation) v- Michael J Lonsdale Electrical Ltd handed down on 17 June 2020 is both timely and significant given the "new normal" that we are all now operating within.
