Abstract
This case note examines the effect of the recent Supreme Court decision Akers v Samba Financial Group [2017] UKSC 6. The authors explore the reasoning of the Court, particularly in relation to bona fide purchaser rule and its effect on offshore trusts and section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986. It will conclude that the Supreme Court was correct on the facts to limit the remedies available through equity and the insolvency act when assets held on trust are disposed. The appellants were incorrect in positing that a disposition had occurred. Further, the court affirms ‘the Samba principle’ wherein equity applies in personam to foreign and domestic assets. The decision highlights tensions inherent within trusts and insolvency law which Akers provides remedy to through the bona fide purchaser rule.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
