Ildar Uzbekov v Revolut Limited

Ildar Uzbekov v Revolut Limited

There is no real prospect that the court would grant declaratory relief in the terms sought or similar terms, and the claim for nominal damages and declarations is an abuse of process under the Jameel jurisdiction. The litigation is disproportionate to any legitimate advantage and does not serve a useful purpose.
