'Nelsonian knowledge' is sometimes referred to as 'blind-eye knowledge' (see, Credit Suisse ( Monaco) SA v Attar [2004] EWHC 374 and Manifest Shipping Co v Uni-Polaris Shipping Co [2003] 1 AC 469, House of Lords. In the latter case Lord Clyde held that such knowledge requires 'a conscious reason for blinding the eye. There must be at least a suspicion of a truth about which you do not want to know and which you refuse to investigate'. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200001/ldjudgmt/jd010118/manife-1.htm

In Criterion Properties Plc v Stratford UK Properties LLC [2004] 1 WLR 1846, House of Lords, Lord Scott of Foscote acknowledged that the law relating to knowing receipt of assets may be applicable where assets have been transferred by a fully executed contract. Lord Scott of Foscote dismissed the appeal in Criterion on the basis that the contract in the case was merely executory (the subject of the contract had not yet been transferred).

However, Lord Nicholls (who supports strict liability for receipt of trust property) expressed his opinion that the Court of Appeal in Akindele had been wrong to consider the law of knowing receipt in relation to the fully executed contractual transfer of assets in that case. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200304/ldjudgmt/jd040617/critrn-1.htm
