In the matter of Sanne Trust Company Limited

This is an application by Mr Matthew Chadwick, the trustee in bankruptcy of the late Abdul Fattah Sulaiman Khaled Al Bader, for Orders against the Jersey trust company Sanne Trust Limited and Sanne Nominees Limited seeking disclosure of information in relation to the ownership of the Westport Limited shares and other disclosure relevant to the acquisition of a property, 140 Berkeley Court in London by Westport Limited.

(i) First of all there does appear to be a similarity between the arrangements in relation to the ownership of 104 Berkeley Court and the arrangements with regard to the property 80 Viceroy Court which was previously occupied by the deceased bankrupt;

(ii) Secondly, the fact that the deceased bankrupt was living in 104 Berkeley Court, owned by Westport for, it appears, six years;

(iii) Thirdly, there is a coincidence in timing between the bankrupt's departure from the previous residence in September 2003 into the new residence and the acquisition of the residence by Westport in or about July 2003; and

(iv) Fourthly, it appears to the Court that there has been a relatively long delay in providing essentially the straight-forward disclosures which have been provided voluntarily so far.
