CA-2025-000783 - [2025] EWCA Civ 986

In order to put the issue on the appeal into its proper context, it is necessary to set out a regrettably lengthy history of these proceedings and two related sets of proceedings. Even this account is necessarily an incomplete one, partly because not all of the history is relevant and partly because the parties sensibly did not burden this Court with all of the relevant documentation. The parties did, however, provide the Court with a helpful agreed chronology.
