Case of the Year was awarded to Michael v Michael

What the judges said:
“The winner was chosen because the case stood out for its legal complexity, its effect on legal standards, the administration of justice, open justice, interpretation of existing law and impact on practice. The judges highlighted its exceptional scale and the rejection of corporate structures as a barrier to relief. They also noted the unprecedented appointment of receivers, publication with the parties named, guidance on sham trusts and its significant implications for financial remedy practice”
