Anthony de Garr Robinson QC and Laurence Emmett successfully challenged jurisdiction in relation to a large fraud claim relating to the Latvian shipping industry. The case involved detailed consideration of (among other matters) whether it is possible to establish jurisdiction by “piercing the corporate veil”, the nature and application of the “good, arguable case” test in relation to facts establishing jurisdiction and to the operation of Articles 23 and 24 of the Brussels Regulation.
Anthony de Garr Robinson QC and Laurence Emmett acted for Mr. Lembergs, instructed by Pinsent Masons.
