Fraudulent conveyance |
Twyne's case (1601) 76 ER 809; 3 Co. Rep. 80b is a UK insolvency law case, concerning a fraudulent conveyance. Representative of earlier English law, it was considered that any transfer of property from a debtor to a creditor, after which the debtor remained in possession of that property, was a fraudulent act intended to defraud creditors.[1] At the time, the law only recognised the mortgage and the pledge. A charge on property in possession of another was not allowed.[2]
