One Essex Court is delighted to co-host a hybrid event during London International Disputes Week 2022 (LIDW22) on “Pushing envelopes across borders: offshore interim relief in international fraud and asset chases”, taking place on Monday 9 May 2022.
Member hosts: One Essex Court, Fox Williams LLP, Osborne Clarke LLP
Parallel proceedings offshore and in London are a mainstay of international commercial litigation, especially in fraud and asset tracing claims. Recent decisions, both offshore and onshore, have illustrated the opportunities and pitfalls of seeking relief in one jurisdiction in aid of proceedings in another. With a group of leading practitioners from England and offshore, this session will take stock of developments and explore questions such as:
- Does last year’s Privy Council decision in Broad Idea v Convoy Collateral mark a new approach to interim injunctions, freezing relief and Chabra orders in England and offshore?
- Should the English courts revisit the availability of Norwich Pharmacal relief in support of foreign proceedings and align with recent developments in the BVI and the Cayman Islands?
- How effective is enforcement of the duty of full and frank disclosure at controlling sharp practice in ex parte interim relief?
The panel in London will include Andrew McLeod of One Essex Court, David Butler of Fox Williams, Andrew Bartlett of Osborne Clarke, Elaine Gray of Carey Olsen (Guernsey) and Daisy Bovingdon of Collas Crill (Jersey). The panel will be joined virtually by speakers including Tameka Davis of Conyers Dill & Pearman (BVI) and William Jones of Ogier (Cayman Islands).
