Jack Pankhurst has published an article on the decision in LA Micro Group Inc v LA Micro Group (UK) Ltd [2024] UKSC 42.

In his article, Jack teases out the key parts of the judgment, its implications, and considers some questions for the future. The article, ‘Frenkel v LA Micro Group (UK) Ltd: an update on the vendor-purchaser constructive trust (Case Comment)’, is published in P.C.B. 2025, 3, 64-67.
