Commercial Disputes

Work Highlights

We need to serve proceedings (claim form etc) in the British Virgin Islands from the Court of England and Wales. The lease provides England and Wales as the governing law but is silent as to jurisdiction. What steps do we need to take to serve proceedings?

Use it or lose it: S.68 Challenge dismissed by Commercial Court after Claimant ‘banked’ grounds of objection for later use

The privilege is mine? Court offers guidance on litigation privilege

The Gafta Default Clause: Guidance from the English Commercial Court

The buck stops where? Relevance of the defendant’s funding arrangements to an application for security for costs

Sweet relief: Court of Appeal grants relief from sanctions in the absence of a formal application

Security for costs: delay isn’t always fatal

Proprietary injunctions: costs paid under order ‘procured by fraud’ not held on constructive trust (Taylor v Khodabakhsh)

Limitation—claimant’s administration relevant to the application of ‘reasonable diligence’ test (OT Computers Ltd (in liquidation) v Infineon Technologies AG and Micron Europe Ltd)

Legal Brief: Sir Geoffrey Vos’ vision of digital justice

Debarring orders: the enforcement of interlocutory costs orders

Debarring orders and disclosure: when will a defaulting party forfeit their right to participate in proceedings?

Conspiracy and deceit—dismissal of application for strike out/summary judgment (Raja v McMillan)

Commercial Court restrains proceedings issued in EU member state in breach of English jurisdiction clause

Collateral value: use of documents disclosed under the Norwich Pharmacal jurisdiction in other proceedings

A sense of purpose: UK Supreme Court clarifies SAAMCO principles
