Judgement would be made on the holsitc picture of events including the way the 'Trust' has handled its business, taking into account the 'duty of care' to it's 'beneficiaries'.
If this get's to court then as you say the judge will look at things from a legal perspective - and it may not be on a holistic approach - it could come down to what the paperwork says and the fact you received money in a particular way. A wise man wouldn't try to second guess what a judge may take interest in and what he/ she will dismiss as irrelevant.Last edited by eek; 23 June 2020, 16:01.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

If it's possible to argue that you received money as part of an agreement it's possible to argue that the contract is binding.Comment

Originally posted by WoffleCopter View PostPerhaps...however, I think they would need to prove at least that you had actually received the contract at the time. This would be difficult without a signature.
And I know I'm putting a downer on things here but if (BIG if) this goes to court, the fact you received money and didn't query and repay it at the time may rather override the lack of a signature especially when the amount of money involved is not insignificant.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

The problem here is that you see the lack of signatures / paperwork as a good thing - I see it as the opposite as it allows the other side to provide anything they want as evidence with you having little to contradict it with.Last edited by eek; 25 June 2020, 07:54.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

As for the lack of a written contract - that was the entire point of those schemes, it's no different from the end of the Wizard of Oz where Toto pulls back the curtain and Dorothy discovers that the Wizard (scheme) is actually an old man. If you had seen the contract the cold light of day might have revealed how flaky the approach they were using was and might have given you time to see the clause that said the money you were receiving wasn't 85% of the contract value but a "loan" of 85% of the contract value.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
