London-based Partner Andrew Cannon and London-based Senior Associate Hannah Ambrose have authored an article for Lexis®PSL, discussing the English court's approach to the service of documents on a state. The full article is presented here, and can also be accessed via our Public International Law blog.
The article explores the approach the courts are taking when dealing with the service of a document on a state, and how this approach was shaped by the recent decisions of General Dynamics UK Ltd v The State of Libya and Qatar National Bank v Eritrea. The article also considers the cases Kuwait Airlines Corporation v Iraqi Airways and Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's London v Syrian Arab Republic and others, whilst highlighting any changes in the court's approach and recent case law that practitioners ought to be aware of.
