Bankruptcy – Administration in bankruptcy of estate of person dying insolvent. The Chancery Division, in dismissing the applicant's challenge to the appointment of trustees to the insolvent estate of Boris Berezovsky, held that the date of the debtor's death was the date at which the assets comprising the insolvent estate were identified, and as at which the debts and liabilities were identified and quantified. That included the conversion of foreign currency debts into sterling and the date up to which interest might be proved, and after which statutory interest ran.
