Constitutional law

Mohamed v Breish and others [2019] EWHC 786 (Comm), [2019] All ER (D) 29 (Apr)

In a previous judgment (see [2019] All ER (D) 102 (Feb)), the judge had answered certain preliminary issues regarding the applicant’s applications against a range of named respondents, including the first respondent seeking, among other things, a declaration that since July 2017, he had been validly appointed as chairman of the Libyan Investment Authority for the purposes of having responsibility for litigation relating to Libya’s sovereign wealth fund. In the present proceedings, the first respondent sought further declarations. The Commercial Court dismissed that application, deciding that the preliminary issues as ordered had been determined in terms that were clear: the effect was also clear.
