Key Principle

A 'no-action' clause in a bond trust deed, requiring claims to be pursued through the trustee, can bar an individual bondholder's claim that is in substance an attempt to enforce the trust deed, and applies to claims framed in tort as well as in contract where they are the mirror image of the contractual claim.
