Gripping Tales: Fair's Fair

Product Information

The cost of the Pleasure Gardens was a major issue, taken up by the Conservative Party and the right-wing press. Introduce the question of scope (the range of people you consider in decision-making), and things become more complex still. Particularly in light of recent case law, it is becoming increasingly difficult to argue that there is still no established test of fairness for Plans. Not only has it been used as a guiding principle in most, if not all, of the sanction hearings which have come to the Court thusfar, but as we have seen from recent cases such as Re Nasmyth Group Ltd [2023] EWHC 988 (Ch) and Re The Great Annual Savings Co Ltd [2023] EWHC 1141 (Ch), the Court has even been prepared to refuse sanction of a Plan on the basis of an opposing creditor’s argument that the Plan operates ‘unfairly’ against it.

Snowflakes are described as ‘fighting in the wind’ and the steam of Jackson’s warm pie is described as not ‘being his soul going to heaven’. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. And the converse is also true: if there is not a fair distribution, that is likely to indicate that the dissenting class has voted rationally, and that would support the Court refusing sanction. In 1970, Garfield's work started to move in new directions with The God Beneath the Sea, a re-telling of numerous Greek myths in one narrative, written by Garfield and Edward Blishen and illustrated by Charles Keeping. The boy, Jackson, shares what little he has in the way of food with what he believes to be a stray dog.

To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. In Re Virgin Active [2021] EWHC 1246 (Ch) at [219]-[221], the Court was quick to dismiss the idea despite remarks to the contrary included within the Explanatory Notes to the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (“ CIGA 2020”). It turned out that she’d given birth to the child, hadn't told anyone, hadn't got any money, and thought that this was the best thing for her baby. The graveyard dead join in the partying at the village pub, and a taxidermist’s labours come back to life. In that case, HMRC (as a compromised Plan creditor) noted their objections in principle to the debtor’s Plan but failed to ‘ step up to the plate’ and make representations to that effect at Court.

HMRC, having voted against the Plan, would have seen its preferential claim compromised to enable a distribution to those out-of-the-money creditors who would rank behind it in the relevant alternative.I think in this context, it may be about a footballer not wanting to come out and say 'I played badly', because of (a) ego and (b) not wanting to let down team morale. Most importantly “Fair’s Fair” contains great morals to teach children about honesty and self-reward.
