Biography

Charlie Reed is a Senior Associate in the Business and Commercial Disputes team in BCLP’s London office. He advises on a variety of high value, complex commercial disputes, civil fraud matters and corporate investigations, often with an international dimension. He has extensive experience in dealing with a wide range of interim applications, including prohibitory and anti-suit injunctions, applications for summary judgment and contempt of court. As well as representing clients before the High Court and Court of Appeal, Charlie’s cases have been resolved using ADR, including by way of mediation and expert determination.

Charlie’s practice has focused, more recently, on the technology and telecoms sectors – he was part of the BCLP team acting for Tata Consultancy Services in a complex and highly technical contractual dispute that was one of the biggest IT trial in recent years and listed in The Lawyer as one of its 'Top 20 cases' for 2023.

In addition, Charlie has spent 8 months on secondment in the dispute resolution team of a major international financial institution.

Anti-Enforcement Injunctions: a tool to restrain the enforcement of an English Court order or judgment

It is well established that an anti-enforcement injunction is available as an equitable remedy in the English Courts to restrain a party from enforcing a foreign court order or foreign judgment. Relying on those principles, BCLP obtained an anti-enforcement injunction on behalf of its clients to restrain the enforcement of an English Court judgment and order which is understood to be the first reported case of its kind: Federal Government of Nigeria & Anor v Louis Emovbira Williams [2025] EWHC 2217 (Comm).

Is challenging a judgment allegedly procured by a previously known fraud an abuse of process and vexatious?

“Once a judgment is tainted by deceit it is fatally flawed” (Park v CNH Industrial Capital Europe Limited). But can an application to set aside a default judgment allegedly procured by fraud, itself be an abuse of process, vexatious and a collateral attack on a previous judgment of the court? We explore this question in the context of the claimant having previously known about the alleged fraud, in Henshaw J’s judgment of 8 May 2025 in (1) Federal Government of Nigeria; and (2) Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria v Williams.

No minority discount for quasi-partnerships

In Gibbins v Tierney [2024] EWHC 2004 (Ch), the High Court reaffirmed the principles that apply when deciding whether there has been unfair prejudice, within the meaning of section 994 of the Companies Act 2006, in a quasi-partnership. This case is a good example of how unfair prejudice rules are applied by the Courts to quasi partnerships in circumstances where one party has allegedly sought to shut out another from management decisions.
