High Tech International AG & Others v Deripaska

Facts

The Defendant, one of the richest men in the world, was sued over statements which he was alleged to have made to the Russian prosecuting authorities, in Russia, in 1995. The Claimants, an individual resident in Iraq and two foreign corporations, brought proceedings in the English High Court, claiming that the Defendant was domiciled within the jurisdiction for the purpose of the Judgments Regulations, and so could be sued here as of right.
