Extract

In Three Rivers District Council and others v. Bank of England [2000] 2 W.L.R. 1220, the House of Lords answered two questions. What are the defining conditions of the tort of misfeasance in public office? What was the potential liability of the Bank of England under an EC directive relating to the exercise of its supervision over a credit institution? The questions had been raised as preliminary legal questions before further trial of the issues arising in the proceedings.
