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.

High Court hands down first ever merits judgment on international banking transfer rights under Lebanese law – Vatche Manoukian v Société Générale De Banque Au Liban S.A.L and Bank Audi S.A.L

Following the recent decision of the High Court, in which specific performance was ordered against two Lebanese banks in favour of our client, Vatche Manoukian, the Court has now handed down its fully reasoned judgment. The judgment in favour of our client is groundbreaking in being the first full merits judgment in any jurisdiction on the international transfer rights of banking customers under Lebanese law. That issue is likely to be of very real interest to all customers of Lebanese banks, but particularly those who can bring claims in the UK or EU under consumer legislation. The High Court considered whether two Lebanese banks in this case had an obligation to effect the international bank transfer requested by our client, Mr Manoukian. The Court interpreted the terms and conditions of the two banks in accordance with Lebanese law, and considered the impact of custom on the contracts with banks. In finding in favour of our client, the Court held that Mr Manoukian had a right to an international transfer, thus being entitled to an order for specific performance. That finding was based both on the terms of the contracts but also the wider issue of Lebanese banking custom which is incorporated into contracts under the Lebanese civil code. Written by Graham Shear, partner, Andrew Street, senior associate and Irina Tuca, trainee solicitor at Bryan Cave Leighton Pasiner LLP and first published on 25 March 2022.
