Lord Justices dismiss Wyatt Goldtrail appeal

The Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of former XL Leisure boss Phil Wyatt and his associates against a £1.4 million liability for the failure of Goldtrail Travel.

The appeal court found all 10 of the appellants’ grounds for appeal failed except for a “minor aspect” concerning the compensation for dishonest assistance to former Goldtrail owner Abdulkadir Aydin which “has no overall economic effect on the appellants”.
