Contract law

Francis Joseph Campeau v Gottex Real Asset Fund 1 (OE) Waste SÀRL

There is a good arguable case that the SPA's exclusive jurisdiction clause applies to disputes involving third parties asserting rights under clause 10.3, and that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 obliges such third parties to enforce their rights subject to the jurisdiction clause. Therefore, Mr Campeau was entitled to serve the claim form out of the jurisdiction without permission under CPR r. 6.33(2B).

International commercial arbitration

JP Morgan Securities Plc & Ors v VTB Bank PJSC

The Russian proceedings against JPM Entities are in substance attempts to enforce English law contractual obligations in breach of wide arbitration agreements and are vexatious and oppressive, seeking to circumvent English law and UK sanctions. Affiliates are entitled to enforce arbitration agreements under the 2017 Terms. Anti-suit and anti-enforcement injunctions are granted; VTB's jurisdictional challenge fails.

  • Arbitration agreements
  • Sanctions
  • Vexatious and oppressive proceedings

Contract law

Henderson & Jones Limited & Ors v Grange Heating Services Limited & Ors

The proposed amendments do not introduce a new cause of action or new facts but provide further detail to the existing claim. Even if a new cause of action is arguable, it arises out of substantially the same facts. The pleas regarding transferred loss and third party rights are reasonably arguable but require further particularisation. Permission to amend is granted, subject to the right of the first defendant to apply to strike out, for summary judgment, or for determination of a preliminary issue.

  • Amendment of pleadings
  • Limitation of actions
  • Transferred loss
  • Third party rights
  • Implied terms
  • Fit for purpose obligations
