Conflict of laws

Nori Holdings Ltd and others v Public Joint-Stock Company ‘Bank Otkritie Financial Corporation’ [2018] EWHC 1343 (Comm), [2018] All ER (D) 30 (Jun) 

The claimant companies were granted an anti-suit injunction to restrain the defendant bank from continuing Russian proceedings against them and from commencing proceedings in any court of a state which was not a member of the EU.

NLJ this week: The expanding remit of national security law
In NLJ this week, Sailesh Mehta and Theo Burges of Red Lion Chambers examine the government’s first-ever 'Afghan leak' super-injunction—used to block reporting of data exposing Afghans who aided UK forces and over 100 British officials.

Its use, the authors argue, signals the rise of a vast new body of national security law spanning civil, criminal, and media domains
