Professor Kershaw, Dean of LSE Law School, was cited by the Lord Leggatt in the Supreme Court case of Rukhadze and others (Appellants) v Recovery Partners GP Ltd and another (Respondents) [2025] UKSC 10. In relation to the question of what amounts to an opportunity which cannot be exploited by a fiduciary (in the corporate context a “corporate opportunity”) Lord Leggatt refers to the “illuminating exploration of these questions” in Professor Kershaw’s The Foundations of Anglo-American Corporate Fiduciary Law (CUP, 2018).
