11 November 2014United Kingdom
Judgment of the High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court in the case 2014 Folio 432 dated 11 November 2014
High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court
Case no.
2014 Folio 432
Citation
[2014] EWHC 3704 (Comm)
Decision summary
The court held that it had no jurisdiction over the Chabra defendants and allowed their application to set aside service out of the jurisdiction. It declined jurisdiction over the three Cypriot defendants because there was no real connecting link between the subject matter of the measures sought and the territorial jurisdiction of the English court, and declined jurisdiction over the Indian and Isle of Man defendants as a matter of discretion. It would not have set aside the order for inadvertent non-disclosure.
