Clifden’s behaviour ‘unprincipled asset grab', judge concludes

Instead of acting as the saviour of noteholders, Clifden was simply to trying to profit from the hurriedly arranged pre-pack administration of Fairhold, a pre-crisis CMBS now in distress, according to a judge in the UK High Court on Friday. It was an ‘unprincipled asset grab’, the judge told the court on the concluding day of the hearing.
