Joint Stock Company VTB Bank v Valerjevich [2012] All ER (D) 29 (Dec)
It was settled law that the question in respect of an application for interim relief under s 25 of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 was whether it was expedient to grant the interim order sought. The question of whether it was a “good arguable case” was not a required test in an application under s 25 of the Act. The statutory test expressly provided how to approach such application, namely that the court could grant the order but might refuse it within s 25(2) of the Act. The court would however proceed with caution.
