Bunina v Nasibov [2026] EWHC 774 (Ch) (16 March 2026)
The High Court continued a domestic freezing injunction where the claimant showed a good arguable case, a real risk of dissipation, and effective alternative service.
Bunina v Nasibov [2026] EWHC 605 (Ch) (06 March 2026)
The High Court allowed alternative service of a freezing injunction by Telegram message after failed personal service attempts and evidence the handle had previously reached the respondent.
The claimant has a good arguable case for breach of the personal guarantee agreement, there is a real risk of dissipation of assets by the defendant, service was validly effected via Telegram and other addresses, and it is just and convenient to continue the domestic freezing injunction until trial or further order.

Leahy v Schneider Investment Associates LLP [2025] EWHC 2900 (Ch) (07 November 2025)
The High Court set aside a statutory demand, finding a genuine and substantial dispute over whether an unlimited personal guarantee was enforceable only if payment was made to MCL ahead of SIA.
Mr Lyons carried on business in England and Wales during the relevant period by letting and selling the Hamilton Terrace property in his personal capacity, establishing jurisdiction for the bankruptcy petition. The grounds of opposition to the debt are dismissed as lacking bona fide substance, being inherently and commercially implausible, unsupported by evidence, and not previously raised. Procedural defects regarding delay are waived as no prejudice was shown.
