Abstract This article suggests that, with respect, the Supreme Court may have neglected the issue of ‘dishonesty’ in Hotel Portfolio II UK Ltd v Stevens 2025 UKSC 28, 2025 3 WLR 293, in relation to the ‘dishonest’ assistance of a breach of constructive trust found to have taken place. And that the judgment is another noteworthy and potentially revealing marker–albeit seemingly an inadvertent one—in equity’s controversial transition from ‘knowing assistance’ to ‘dishonest assistance’ of a breach of trust or breach of fiduciary duty.
