Novoship (UK) Limited & ors v Nikitin & ors | Wills & Trusts Law Reports | Legalease Law Journals
1. YURI NIKITIN 2. AMON INTERNATIONAL INC 3. HENRIOT FINANCE LIMITED
Mr Mikhaylyuk (M), a manager for the first respondent, NOUK, with responsibility for negotiating the charters of vessels owned by companies within the Novoship group, the remaining respondents, owed fiduciary duties to all the respondents. M had arranged a series of schemes by which he defrauded his principals and enriched himself and others by the payment of bribes given to him by those who chartered his principals’ vessels. These schemes included one concerning vessels chartered to companies owned and controlled by Mr Ruperti (R) which R then sub-chartered at substantially higher rates. M required R, as a price for obtaining those charters, to make substantial payments of bribes to himself and to a company called Amon International (Amon), the second appellant, which was owned and controlled by Mr Nikitin (N), the first appellant. Contemporaneously, M arranged charters of other vessels to Henriot Finance Limited (Henriot), the third appellant, another company owned and controlled by N.
