Summary

The House of Lords finding that SWAPS transactions with large international financing organisations and local authorities were ultra vires litigation provoked a raft of litigation which did not only have important implications for financing and commercial law generally, but which also dramatically altered the general landscape of the law, making far reaching changes in equity and trust law, contract and tort and especially restitution, the structure of which has been significantly recast.
