Lowry Trading Ltd & Anor v Haycox [2025] EWHC 2754 (Comm) (09 October 2025)
The High Court granted summary judgment on a deceit claim over SPV 20, finding the defendant made knowingly false statements to induce investment and raised no real defence.
The Defendants made false representations, including forged documents and misstatements about ticket sales and profit projections, which were intended to and did induce the Claimants to advance funds. The Defendants acted dishonestly or recklessly as to the truth of the representations. The Claimants relied on these representations and suffered loss. Repayment of £500,000 to the First Claimant does not extinguish the tort claim, as interest remains outstanding and no valid appropriation was made. The Defendants have no real prospect of successfully defending the claims in deceit.
