ALFRED YOUNG has been appointed County Court Judge LONDON BRANCHES : 1, ST. JAMES'S ST., S.W.; 63, CHANCERY LANE, W.C.; for Circuit No. 25 (Wolverhampton and District) in the place THE IMPORTANT judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal in Re Olympia (Limited) proceeds upon the two principles―(1) that to enable promoters of a company to retain a profit on the ground that they have disclosed it in the prospectus, it is essential that the disclosure should be actual and not constructive—that is, the fact of the profit being made must appear upon the prospectus, and must not be merely ascertainable from documents referred to in the prospectus; and (2) a company is not necessarily bound by a contract which has been entered into by the directors pursuant to the articles of association if the directors do not form an independent board. In Re Olympia (Limited) property was, in the hands of a former company, THE PERFECTED SYSTEM of Life Assurance is peculiar to this Society subject to debentures for £100,000 and to a mortgage for £10,000, and its value was not sufficient to pay off these charges with arrears of interest in full. A scheme was formed for purchasing the debentures and mortgage at less than their nominal value, and for purchasing the property at a price sufficient to pay off the incumbrances in full, and then for re-selling to a new company at a profit. The promoters would thus secure a double profit, first on the purchase of the debentures, and next on the resale to the new company. A syndicate was formed to carry out the scheme and part of the debentures and the whole of the mortgage were purchased. The mortgage was bought for £500, and it realized over £6,000; £27,220 was given for debentures which realized ultimately over £42,000. On the transaction, therefore, there was a profit of some £20,000. On the resale of the property to the new company there was a further profit of £40,000, the property being purchased for £140,000 and sold for £180,000. The latter profit was fully disclosed in the prospectus issued on the formation of the new company, and in the present proceedings no attempt has been made to recover it, but the former profit could only be discovered by following up inquiries suggested in the prospectus, and it was claimed that as to this the promotors were liable to refund. trustees, upon handing over the trust estate to their successors, to take reasonable care for its continued safety, but this in turn is not altogether easy to reconcile with the limitation that the old trustees are only liable for a breach of trust which was expressly contemplated when the property was handed over, and not for a different breach which the new trustees may commit (see Clark v. Hoskins, 27 L. J. Ch. 561). The doctrine of the case just cited is very clearly expressed by KEKEWICH, J., in his present judgment: "It will not suffice to prove that the former trustees rendered easy or even intended a breach of trust if it was not in fact committed. They must be proved to be guilty as accessories before the fact of the impropriety actually perpetrated." These words indicate exactly the ground upon which liability is brought home to the former trustees. Their retirement from the trust renders possible the specific breach of trust then in contemplation, and when it is committed the liability falls upon them as being, for practical purposes, its authors. But they are not visited with the consequences of breaches of trust which were not in their contemplation. In Head v. Gould the old trustees, so it was found, never contemplated the breach of trust committed by the new trustees, and, notwithstanding that they retired in order to get rid of the importunity of their cestui que trusts, they were absolved from liability for the breaches of trust committed by the new trustees. THE CONTRACT for the resale of the property was entered into between trustees for the syndicate and a trustee for the intended company, and, among other provisions, it contained a clause that its validity should not be impeached on the ground that the vendors, as promoters or otherwise, stood in a fiduciary relation to the company, nor should they be required to account for any profit made by the purchase of any of the debentures or of any other charges on the property of the old company. The new company was formed for the express object of carrying into effect this agreement, and the articles provided that the directors should adopt it with such modifications (if any) as might be agreed upon. The capital was to be £155,000 in £5 shares, which, with £70,000 to be raised by debentures, would give the purchase price of £180,000 and leave £45,000 for working capital. As mentioned above, the prospectus stated specifically the profit made by the syndicate on the resale; moreover it referred to the agreement for sale to the trustee for the new company. But it did not give any hint that such agreement contained a clause securing to the syndicate the profit on the purchase of the debentures, and an intending subscriber consequently could only have discovered that such profit was being made by examining the contract itself. According to the decisions hitherto, it seems to be correct to say that, in the absence of fraud, a reference in a prospectus to a document is effectual to give notice of its contents, assuming, of course, that the document is offered for inspection (New Sombrero Co. v. Erlanger, 5 Ch. D. p.111; Hallows v. Fernie, 3 Ch. p. 477). In the present case, however, the Court of Appeal held calling attention to a point of practical importance which arises WE PRINTED recently (ante, p. 448) a letter from a correspondent that the reference to the contract did not constitute when a mortgage given to a married woman to secure money sufficient disclosure of its contents, and in the case of profits advanced by her is paid off or transferred. The recent decision of made by persons in a fiduciary position to the company KEKEWICH, J., in Re Brooke and Fremlin's Contract (ante, p. 431) it will be necessary henceforth for the profits to be justified settles that where the money belongs to the married woman as solely by what appears upon the prospectus. The case was her separate estate she is able to reconvey the mortgaged property made stronger against the promoters by the fact of the profit on without the concurrence of her husband and without acknowthe resale being specifically mentioned, it being a natural ledgment. But it frequently happens that there is nothing in inference that no other profit was being made. But though the title to shew that the money is the separate property of the there was no sufficient disclosure to subscribers, it was still pos- wife, and it then becomes a question whether the person taking sible to argue that there was disclosure to the company which a conveyance from her is entitled to be satisfied on this point. would be a bar to proceedings taken in the name of the com- If the money in fact belongs to the husband, it would seem pany. The contract was adopted by the directors, who, of that the wife's unacknowledged deed is still sufficient to pass course, were aware of its contents and were aware, therefore, of the legal estate. Such estate has been acquired by her since 1882 the profit which was being made on the purchase of the deben--it is assumed that the mortgage is subsequent to that datetures. But this knowledge the Court of Appeal refused under and she has, therefore, complete power of disposition over it. But the circumstances to impute to the company. The directors, in this, probably, would not save the property from being still subfact, knew too much. They knew of the profits not only ject, in the hands of a purchaser, to a charge in favour of the because the contract was brought before them as directors, but husband, provided the purchaser had notice, actual or construcbecause they were themselves to share in them as members of tive, of the husband's rights. In the case mentioned by our the syndicate. Where it is a question of securing profits for a correspondent it seems to have been well known that the married promoter it requires more than the mere knowledge of directors woman was dealing with her husband's money, and we should to bind the company. The directors must also form an inde- imagine that a purchaser would not be safe in repaying it into her pendent body and with independent minds assent to the tran- hands. But ordinarily the purchaser has no such actual knowledge saction. In the result, accordingly, the share of the £20,000 of the title to the money, and the question for him is whether he which was in question in the present proceedings was ordered ought to inquire. To answer this it seems material to know whether the marriage took place before or after the commencement of the Married Women's Property Act, 1882. If before, the money prima facie belongs to the husband, and the wife must shew that it was hers, either by proving that it was settled to her separate use, or that she acquired it after the Act. If the marriage took place after the Act there is no presumption that any money with which the wife is dealing belongs to her husband. In matters of property she is on the footing of a stranger to him, and an inquiry whether the money is her own is no more necessary than in the case of an ordinary mortgagee. As our correspondent pointed out, the difficulty should be obviated by making the husband a party to the mortgage deed for the purpose of acknowledging that the money is his wife's separate property. Where this has not been done he ought to join in the subsequent conveyance by the wife, at any rate where the marriage took place before the Act of 1882. to be refunded. A NEW and very serious burden would be imposed upon trustees if any extension were given to the principle under which retired trustees can be made liable for breaches of trust committed by the new trustees, but fortunately no hint of any such extension is contained in the judgment of KEKEWICH, J., in Head v. Gould. It is clear that where a trustee who refuses to commit a breach of trust retires from the trust for the purpose of enabling a trustee who will commit the breach of trust to be appointed, and the new trustee in fact does commit that specific breach of trust, then the old trustee as well as the new trustee is liable (Palairet v. Carew, 32 Beav., p. 568; Webster v. Le Hunt, 9 W. R. 918). It has been suggested that this result depends on the doctrine of agency, and that the old trustee is to be treated as authorizing the committing of the breach of trust by the new trustee; but this is not strictly correct, for at the time when the breach of trust is actually committed it cannot be supposed that there is any relationship of principal and agent between the old and the new trustee. The new trustee is himself the principal so far as relates to the trust estate then in his hands. In Head v. Gould KEKEWICH, J., has proposed as a safer ground for the rule, the duty of the old EVER SINCE the House of Lords decided in Boulter v. The Justices of Kent (46 W. R. 114) that a licensing meeting is not a court, we have been finding out fresh consequences of the decision, and it is gradually being realized that many reported cases which have been followed for years without question have |
