Alesayi v Bank Audi SAL [2025] EWHC 440 (KB) (28 February 2025)
Appeal from disclosure orders in a jurisdiction challenge. The court held the Rome two-stage test applies, not a separate exceptionality test, and allowed the appeal in part.
Commercial Court judgment on alleged NCSP and FESCO conspiracies, addressing jurisdiction, forum, limitation, fair presentation, and several related tort claims.
The claimant established a good arguable case that some breaches of contract and tort occurred or damage was suffered within the jurisdiction, satisfying the relevant jurisdictional gateways. Although Guernsey was the more appropriate forum, practical justice required allowing the claim to proceed in England and Wales because the claimant could not reasonably litigate in Guernsey due to funding constraints and the claim would be time-barred there.

The High Court dismissed a jurisdiction challenge to service out in proceedings to enforce an Abu Dhabi Court of Cassation judgment and to support foreign proceedings with a freezing injunction.
The Claimants have established a serious issue to be tried and a good arguable case under Gateway 3, as all claims arise from the same alleged unlawful hacking campaign and the Del Rosso Parties are proper parties to the proceedings. England is the forum conveniens and the court exercises its discretion to permit service out of the jurisdiction on the Del Rosso Parties.
