Evans and another v Jones and another [2016] EWCA Civ 660, [2016] All ER (D) 36 (Jul)

The judge had erred in having taken into account, in assessing the solvency of the company, a dividend that had been paid to the defendant director/shareholders which had been shown during the course of the liquidation to have been an unlawful dividend.
