Key Principle

On a challenge under the Insolvency Act to a trustee in bankruptcy's exercise of discretion (here a decision taken at a creditors'/trustees' decision procedure), the court reviews the decision on the limited, Edennote/perversity-style basis and will not substitute its own view unless the decision was one no reasonable trustee could have reached.
