Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) v JP Morgan Chase Bank NA (Case C-144/10); [2011] WLR (D) 188
“The exclusive jurisdiction, conferred by article 22(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001, on the courts of the member state in which a company had its seat, was confined to proceedings whose principal subject matter comprised the validity of the constitution, the nullity or the dissolution of the company, or the validity of the decisions of its organs. It did not apply to proceedings in which such an issue arose merely as a collateral question, for example where a company, sued by a bank to enforce a swap contract, sought to plead that the contract had been entered into invalidly in breach of the company’s own statutes.”

“The High Court had jurisdiction to intervene to enforce an arbitration agreement even where no arbitration had commenced and none was intended to be commenced. Whether or not the court would assist a claimant seeking to have a dispute resolved in accordance with the arbitration agreement was a matter of discretion, but it would be contrary to principle for the court to refuse to grant an anti-suit injunction to the claimant under those circumstances as a matter of jurisdiction.”

Regina v Hull [2011] EWCA Crim 1261; [2011] WLR (D) 177

In relation to a sentence of life imprisonment, adapting the sentence, as far as possible to bring correspondence between the punishment which would have been imposed in the sentencing state and (the remainder of) the sentence to be served in the administering state, required a reasoned judgment as to the likely duration of the custodial element of the sentence had the sentence been served in the sentencing state.”
