Subject: UKSC on
undue influence
An interesting reversal of the Court of Appeal in One Savings Bank
PLC v Waller-Edwards [2024] EWCA Civ 302 by the UK Supreme Court today - [2025]
UKSC 22 - suggesting there is still a role to by played by undue influence in
so-called "hybrid cases", where the vulnerable party effectively pays
off the abusive party's debts in what is formally joint borrowing.
Citation by Lady Simler of various academic accounts including
Profs Enonchong and Capper, and the recent interesting comment by Dr Rowan in
Legal Studies.
