Clyde & Co LLP v Abhimanyu Jalan

Clyde & Co LLP v Abhimanyu Jalan

The judgment should be published as there is no significant confidential information and the open justice principle outweighs privacy expectations, especially given the lack of a valid arbitration agreement. Permission to appeal is refused as there is no real prospect of success on any ground. Costs are awarded to Mr Jalan on the standard basis, not indemnity, with an interim payment of £173,693.17 to be made within 14 days.
