Jurisdictional gateway and foreign law issues considered by Supreme Court
On 20 October 2021, the Supreme Court handed down its most recent judgment in the ongoing litigation in FS Cairo (Nile Plaza) LLC v Lady Brownlie [2021] UKSC 45. The most important point to note is the Supreme Court’s wide interpretation of the term “damage… sustained… within the jurisdiction” in respect of the type and severity of damage required to allow a claim in tort to pass through the relevant jurisdictional gateway within Civil Procedure Rule PD6B 3.1.
