Andrew Ayres KC (instructed by Rosling King LLP) for the Claimant The Defendants appeared in person via Microsoft Teams Hearing date: 2 August 2023 ____________________

i) The court needs personal jurisdiction over the respondent to grant relief. Deutsche�Bank �50(1).

ii) The party seeking an�anti-suit injunction must generally show that the proceedings before the foreign court are or would be vexatious or oppressive: Deutsche�Bank �50(2).

iii) An�anti-suit injunction always requires caution, and indeed "extreme caution", because by definition it involves interference with the process or potential process of a�foreign court. The stronger the connection of the foreign court with the parties and the subject matter of the dispute, the stronger the argument against intervention: Bank�of�Tokyo�v�Karoon [1987] 1 AC 45, p.�59; Deutsche�Bank �50(5).
