In relation to claim no. CL-2022-000022, on 18 December 2025 at the Royal Courts of Justice in London Mr Justice Henshaw handed down judgment finding that the Defendant, Igor Mineev, had committed contempt of court.  The general nature of the contempt of court was knowingly breaching a disclosure order made by Mr Justice Henshaw on 22 October 2024, bearing a penal notice, by failing to serve an affidavit and to provide copy documentation as required by that order.

The question of what, if any, sanction will be imposed for the contempt of court will be determined at a later date following a further hearing.
