The recent judgment of the vice chancellor in Kirit Lalij Thakrar v Ciro Citterio Menswear plc and others [2002] EWCH 1975 (Ch) of 1 October, 2002 sheds light on the refusal of the Court of Appeal on 13 August, 2002 to approve a consent order in Tomlin form which was the fruit of a successful mediation.
(See Kirit Lalij Thakrar v Gurpal Singh Johal and another [2002] EWCH 897 (Ch). At the time of writing, this judgment has not been reported.)
On 13 August, 2002, the Court of Appeal was (in summary) asked to approve a consent order, in which Kirit Thakrar, a shareholder and former officer of the menswear retailer Ciro Citterio (in administration), was to be paid £1.2m by that company and its administrators.
