    High Court

    Tracing-eligible assets will be isolated; because investor statements and records were unreliable, allocations were often retrospective and funds were mixed, the Court rejected the PIP bespoke-allocation approach and directed interim distribution by a pooling method (the second pooling method advanced by Mrs Hubbard: return capital to investors with positive net cash in, then distribute surplus by a time-weighted compound interest formula), as it best balances fairness, reflects investor expectations, and is practicable and cost-effective.
