Conflict of laws

JP Morgan International Finance Ltd v Werealize.ComLtd; Karonis and others v JP Morgan International Finance Ltd [2025] EWHC 1842 (Comm)

The Commercial Court ruled on applications for anti-suit injunctions (ASIs) brought by WeRealize.com Ltd (WRL) and the directors of Viva Wallet Holdings Software Development S.A. (the Directors) to restrain claims commenced by JP Morgan International Finance Ltd against the directors in Greece under Art 919 of the Greek Civil Code. The court held that the directors were entitled to ASI relief in respect of the Greek proceedings on the basis that those proceedings breached an obligation to be implied into cl 33 of the relevant shareholders’ agreement not to bring proceedings in a jurisdiction in which the cl 33 ‘no liability’ provision would not be effective. Accordingly, the Directors were granted ASI relief on this basis. The court rejected the alternate claims for ASI relief, such as quasi-contractual arguments or vexatious and oppressive conduct.
