I was THRILLED to hear this news yesterday! Some context if you are unfamiliar with this matter: - Hello Alice is a company with a mission to help small business owners. - They pride themselves in providing equitable access to capital through grants for underrepresented entrepreneurs. - Last year their partnership with Progressive to provide #BlackWomenBusinessOwners with grants was targeted with a lawsuit, claiming that the grant was racially discriminatory. - This week a judge dismissed the case. Now I don't think this is the last we will hear of this case or similar cases, but this is definitely a win to be proud of. After the affirmative action case in the supreme court, many in the corporate space were concerned about continuing with their DEI efforts thinking the actions would open them up to lawsuits. And the answer is, it could! But if you are truly passionate about creating equitable spaces, you have to be willing to put yourself at risk to support those historically disadvantaged communities. Thank you to Hello Alice for what you have done for the small business community and for fighting to keep that right versus backing down to protect yourselves. Furthermore, while your DEI efforts could open you up to a frivolous lawsuit, it is possible to win that fight so this is your reminder to never give up. #SasstriceRandomRamblings #DEI #WOSB #MBE

🔍 Hyde v Djurberg Case Background: ➡️Mr. Djurberg sold a property post-bankruptcy and received £217,000 as a settlement payment. ➡️The TiB claimed this as after-acquired property, leading to court proceedings. ➡️The court ruled in favour of the TiB, emphasising the wide powers granted under the Act and the difficulty for third parties to rely on the Section 307 defence. David Garner and Owen John from our Commercial Disputes team report on it here https://shorturl.at/Ip9AU This case highlights the critical obligations of bankrupt individuals and the broad authority vested in trustees in bankruptcy. It is a vital reminder of the complexities and challenges in proving third-party defences under Section 307. #insolvencyact #bankruptcylaw #legalupdate #CommercialDisputes

At Biles Wilson, victory and justice aren't just aspirations; they are the cornerstones on which we build each case. We are thrilled to share that yesterday marked a tremendous win for our team and, more importantly, our client. Not only did we secure a summary judgment, but we also upheld the integrity of the legal process by obtaining Rule 13 sanctions against the opposing side and their counsel. This ruling mandates full reimbursement of our client's attorneys' fees due to the frivolous nature of the claim brought against it. This win reinforces our commitment to business litigation where every legal strategy is an embodiment of our core principle: our clients and their victories always take precedence.
