Mengiste and another v Endowment Fund for the Rehabilitation of Tigray and another [2017] EWCA Civ 1326, [2017] All ER (D) 102 (Sep)

Accordingly, the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, held that the judge had been right to refuse to lift a stay in proceedings the appellants had brought against the respondents in England, on the grounds that England had not been a convenient forum for the proceedings.
