This complex motion involved the defendants, Dr. Saad and the Canadian Companies, seeking to set aside ex parte Mareva injunctions, Norwich orders, and receivership orders previously granted to the plaintiffs.
The defendants argued material non-disclosure by the plaintiffs, particularly regarding the political motivations behind the litigation and the legitimate commercial relationships between the parties.
The plaintiffs sought to continue and vary the orders.
The court found no material non-disclosure sufficient to set aside the Mareva order against Dr. Saad, continuing it.
However, the Norwich and Receivership orders against the Canadian Companies were set aside due to non-material but impactful non-disclosure that changed the factual landscape, making the orders overly broad.
The court also addressed the application of the deemed undertaking rule for documents obtained through Norwich orders.
