AI confidence in this overview: high
This is an urgent application by A for anti-suit relief (mandatory and prohibitory injunctions) to restrain Chubb Russia and related defendants from pursuing proceedings in Russia said to breach an arbitration clause providing for ICC arbitration in London. The court concluded the application was not ready for a fair urgent hearing because of late and inadequate written materials, incomplete evidence (including on Russian law), and complexity as to the non-party defendants, and refused to proceed to grant urgent interim injunctive relief that day.
