Tasarruf Mevduati Sigorta Fonu v Demirel [2007] 4 All ER 1014
Jurisdiction - Fraud
Edward Cohen - This was a decision of the Court of Appeal (on appeal from the Chancery Division) involving consideration of the proper scope of CPR 6.20(9) (claims to enforce foreign judgments or arbitral awards) and of relevant considerations for the Court in deciding whether to grant permission to serve out of the jurisdiction under that Rule. It related to the attempted enforcement of a Turkish judgment for US$ 30 million plus interest arising out of the collapse of Turkish banks amid allegations of fraud. Edward acted as sole Counsel for the Appellant (as he had done at first instance), the Respondent being represented by both Leading and Junior Counsel.
