AMP Captital Investors Ltd as Responsible Entity for the KSC Trust

In the matter of AMP Capital Investors Limited as the Responsible Entity for the KSC Trust, the court was presented with an application for judicial advice. The trustee sought guidance on whether it would be justified in defending proceedings against the trust. The application was lodged at an early stage of the litigation, and the trustee provided counsel's advice to support its position.

The primary legal issue the court needed to address was whether the trustees of the KSC Trust would be justified in defending the proceedings brought against the trust. This involved assessing the merits of the claims and the potential implications for the trust estate.

The court considered the arguments presented by the trustee and the advice provided by counsel. It concluded that the trustees would indeed be justified in filing a defence and using the trust estate for that purpose. The court found that there were reasonable grounds to defend the proceedings, and doing so was in the best interests of the trust and its beneficiaries.

The final orders of the court were that the trustees of the KSC Trust would be justified in defending the proceedings and in utilising the trust estate to do so. The court's decision provided the trustees with the necessary guidance to proceed with the defence.
