This seminar will examine the legal issues that cryptoassets raise; decisions and important papers to date and direction of travel; and how to frame claims in relation to misappropriated cryptoassets.

The topics of discussion will include:

Does English law recognise cryptoassets as property?
How are cryptoassets classified and what are the implications of that classification?
What kinds of interim relief can be obtained in relation to cryptoassets? How does this work in practice?
How can claims to recover misappropriated cryptoassets be framed, in light of digital registers and their other unique features?

Alec Haydon QC will moderate the presentations and will then put questions submitted via email to the speakers.
