Brew | Board Subversion, Good Faith, and Fiduciary Loyalty in Saxon Woods v Costa [2026] UKSC 21

Please join us at 4pm on Thursday 23rd July for our next Brew.

On 14 July 2026, the Supreme Court handed down its highly anticipated judgment in Saxon Woods Investments Limited and others v Francesco Costa [2026] UKSC 21. This landmark decision resolves a profound corporate governance dispute, clarifying the limits of individual director business judgment in the face of collective board decision-making and the statutory standard of good faith under section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006.

Philipp Simon, Phillip Patterson, Lauren Godfrey and Emily Betts will discuss the implications of this decision.
