Trustees in Bankruptcy seeking to make distributions to a creditor who may be subject to UK sanctions should follow the guidance in the recent case of Thomas, Carter, Nilsson (as the joint trustees in bankruptcy of Nikolay Fetisov and Ilya Yurov) and PJSC National Bank Trust [2025] EWHC 75 (Ch).

Background

TLT were instructed to act on behalf of the joint Trustees in Bankruptcy of two Russian individuals, Nikolay Fetisov and Ilya Yurov.

Sanctions regulations won't prevent administration orders but may affect timings and require undertakings

The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) has published guidance (the Guidance) following the publication of the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Regulations 2024 (the Regulations) on 14 November 2024. OFSI is the body with regulatory oversight of the financial sanctions regime and is responsible for its implementation and enforcement within the UK.

When a company is in financial distress, directors face difficult choices. Should they trade on to try to “trade out” of the company’s financial difficulties or should they file for insolvency? If they act too soon, will creditors complain that they should have done more to save the business? A recent English High Court case raises the prospect of directors potentially being held to account for decisions that “merely postpone the inevitable.”

OVERVIEW In August 2024, the Royal Government of Cambodia (“RGC”) continued to develop the country’s business regulatory environment. Below are some key regulations to be highlighted in this Monthly Legal Update: Sub-decree No. 194 on the Organization and Functioning of the National Committee on Trade Remedies; Prakas No. 044 on Rules and Guidelines for Reinsurance; Prakas No. 525 on the Abrogation of Prakas No.

Introduction:

In an insolvency case involving both UK trustees and Russian Bank Creditors, the High Court issued guidance in regards to the potential breach of the 2019 Regulations surrounding sanctioned entities. The significant criminal and civil penalties potentially arising from this case make it a consequential and relevant case for UK arbitration and litigation lawyers to consider and understand. The final ruling deals with three key questions, as outlined in the court proceedings and expanded upon below.

Case Summary:

It is essential that any UK individual or entity doing business, managing funds/other economic resources, or providing financing or professional services, keeps abreast of the current UK Russian sanctions regime, which is chiefly set out in the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the "Regulations"). The question of how the Regulations might apply to those with fiduciary duties – either as trustees or as directors – has been considered in two recent High Court cases.

When a company is in financial distress, its directors will face difficult choices. Should they trade on to trade out of the company's financial difficulties or should they file for insolvency? If they delay filing and the company goes into administration or liquidation, will the directors be at risk from a wrongful trading claim by the subsequently appointed liquidator? Once in liquidation, will they be held to have separately breached their duties as directors and face a misfeasance claim? If they file precipitously, will creditors complain they did not do enough to save the business?

A recent judgment in Kevin Hellard & Ors v OJSC Rossiysky Kredit Bank (in liquidation) & Ors [2024] EWHC 1783 (Ch) the High Court considers the ‘ownership and control’ test in Bankruptcy, involving trustee powers and Russian Bank creditors.
