Hague v Nam Tai Electronics refers to a pair of legal decisions of the Privy Council on appeal from the British Virgin Islands. The first was a unanimous decision given by Lord Hoffman, reported at [2006] UKPC 52,[1] which focussed upon the anti-deprivation rule and secured creditor's rights. The second was a unanimous decision given by Lord Scott, reported at [2008] UKPC 13,[2] and concerned the liability of a company liquidator. The second decision was much more widely reported.
Lord Bingham of Cornhill and Lord Rodger of Earlsferry sat on both appeals, but neither gave a judgment in either of them.
Separately in the saga, there was also a third application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council on another point, but leave was refused.[3]
