Financial Conduct Authority v Konstantinos Papadimitrakopoulos & Anor

The summary judgment application is dismissed as it constitutes an abuse of process by seeking to relitigate issues already determined in the prior strike-out application. The court has already exercised its discretion regarding the consequences of the FCA's use of MLA Material without consent, and there is no substantive reason to revisit the matter.
