Consolidation of Proceedings in UK Law

Leading Cases
  • Vertex Data Science Ltd v Powergen Retail Ltd
    • Queen's Bench Division (Commercial Court)
    • 09 Junho 2006

    However that may be, it is not immediately obvious to me that it would be unjust for Vertex to be confined to such remedy in damages as is determined to be the extent of the bargain which it struck. That was an extraordinary case on the facts where the contractor, Mowlem, sought indefinitely to delay completion of the high profile Millennium Bath Spa project, a project which was intended and expected to confer significant benefits upon the local economy.

  • Madoff Securities International Ltd ((in Liquidation)) v Stephen Raven and Others
    • Queen's Bench Division (Commercial Court)
    • 18 Outubro 2013

    In fulfilling this personal fiduciary responsibility, a director is entitled to rely upon the judgment, information and advice of a fellow director whose integrity skill and competence he has no reason to suspect: see Dovey v Cory [1901] AC 477 at 486, 492. He may legitimately defer to those views where he is persuaded that his fellow directors' views are advanced in what they perceive to be the best interests of the company, even if he is not himself persuaded.

  • Secretary of State for Health and Others v Servier Laboratories Ltd and Others
    • Chancery Division
    • 31 Julho 2014

    There are three further points which encourage me to accept Servier's proposal at this stage. First, as Ms Manley emphasised more than once in her written evidence, Servier is not saying that its disclosure should necessarily be confined to the documents on the Commission's file, but only that in the interests of proportionality this exercise should be undertaken first.

  • Ismail Kamoka and Others v The Security Service and Others
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 25 Outubro 2017

    That restatement of principle recognises that the doctrine is a flexible one which is not dependent upon identity of parties or issues and in an appropriate case is equally applicable whether the previous proceedings were criminal or civil. Accordingly, I reject any suggestion by Mr de la Mare QC that Hunter-type abuse cannot arise where the earlier proceedings were civil and there is no identity or privity between the parties.

  • Yagnesh Mohanlal Devani v Republic of Kenya
    • Queen's Bench Division (Administrative Court)
    • 11 Dezembro 2015

    Putting the matter this way could be mildly confusing. Lord Lane identified the test in Galbraith as the one to be used by judges in criminal trials when they have to decide whether to accede to a submission of "no case to answer" at the end of the prosecution case. Under section 84(1) the DJ has to do the opposite: viz. decide whether there is a case to answer.

  • Northern Regional Health Authority v Derek Crouch Construction Company Ltd
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 17 Fevereiro 1984

    Arbitration is usually no more and no less than litigation in the private sector. The arbitrator is called upon to find the facts, apply the law and grant relief to one or other or both of the parties. It enables, and in appropriate cases requires, him to vary them and so create new rights, obligations and liabilities in the parties.

  • Asia Pacific Uk Ltd v Hanjin Shipping Company Ltd
    • Queen's Bench Division (Commercial Court)
    • 07 Novembro 2005

    That question must – as is common ground—be judged objectively, that is to say by looking at what was done and said by and as between the parties in order to determine whether it amounts to service. Whether service has been effected cannot depend upon the views, possibly idiosyncratic or even bizarre, of individual litigants or their advisors.
