Insolvent Trading Trusts: clarification post Re Amerind

For a number of decades, there has been uncertainty in the treatment of a trustee's 'right of indemnity' upon the occurrence of an insolvency event. In Carter Holt Harvey Woodproducts Australia Pty Ltd v Commonwealth [2019] HCA 20, the high court provided welcome clarification as to the nature of a trustee's right of indemnity, and its effect upon the distribution of a company's property to its creditors in insolvency.

Join Barristers Mark Eade and Sean Russell, who will explore the following matters in light of the High Court's decision:

• a trustee's right of indemnity - what it is and how it operates
• how trust assets are to be applied and distributed in insolvency (both company and personal insolvencies)
• the disparity between the decisions of Re Enhill Pty Ltd and Re Suco Gold Pty Ltd
• what issues remain unresolved

This session is broadcasting live from Brisbane. Attendees will be able to see and hear the presentation live, and ask questions from their location in Cairns.
