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

The judge’s ultimate conclusion, that Ethiopian court decisions had been reasonable, had been justified on the facts and circumstances of the case. 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.
