Conflict of laws – Foreign proceedings. The Commercial Court dismissed a claimant's application for an anti-suit injunction in respect of proceedings in Denmark. The court held, among other things, that the claimant had not shown a sufficient case that a jurisdiction agreement between the parties applied to that action and that it should be granted an injunction on the grounds that in bringing and pursuing the action the defendant was acting in breach of it. Consideration was given to the agreement which was made in the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement form.
