AI confidence in this overview: medium
This reserved judgment concerns the claimant's application for summary judgment to recognise and enforce three Russian court judgments arising from a reinsurance dispute under a policy covering Sukhoi Superjet test/certification flights after a 2012 crash. The material issue addressed was whether the defendants' defences (notably alleged bias and lack of jurisdiction in the Russian proceedings) had no real prospect of success such that summary judgment should be ordered. The court found that the claimant had not established that the defence of bias had no real prospect of success and dismissed the summary judgment application on that ground.
