Akhmedova v Akhmendov & Ors (Injunctive Relief)

Akhmedova v Akhmendov & Ors (Injunctive Relief)

It is just and convenient to grant further injunctive relief against Straight Establishment to prevent removal or dissipation of the Vessel, given the real risk of frustration of enforcement and the Respondents' history of non-compliance. The steps taken to serve the application by email constituted good service, and the de facto directors of Straight should be named in the penal notice as there is a good arguable case they control Straight.
