CPD Seminar: Republic of Brazil v Durant and the Principles of Tracing

Presented by the Hon J C Campbell QC, Sydney Law School

Chair: Professor Matthew Conaglen, Sydney Law School

CBD Campus, Level 18, 133 Castlereagh Street, Sydney (Stockland Building)

In Republic of Brazil v Durant [2015] UKPC 35; [2015] 3 WLR 599 the Privy Council permitted property held on trust to be traced through several bank accounts notwithstanding that the lowest intermediate balance rule was breached, and that backwards tracing was involved. This lecture examines the correctness of the result the Privy Council reached, and the adequacy of its reasoning. In so doing it considers the various different equities that can be involved in tracing, and the often overlooked aspect of Hagan v Waterhouse (1991) 34 NSWLR 308 at 357 - 359 that permitted tracing through a bank account in overdraft.
