Gilbert and another (Appellants/Claimants) v Bleakley and another (Respondents/Defendants)

Thursday 23 July 2026

By Appellant’s Notice filed on 20 February 2026 the Appellant appeals a decision of the High Court delivered on 30 January 2026.

After obtaining a £4.2 million judgment against Broadoak Private Finance Ltd, the Claimants obtained a worldwide freezing order against the Respondents alleging that Broadoak’s assets had been transferred to them. The Court held that there was no valid jurisdictional basis for serving the proceedings on the Respondents in Spain. The Court therefore revoked permission to serve out, set aside service, and discharged the freezing order.
