The appellants obtained ex parte Anton Piller and Mareva injunctions against the respondents based on misleading evidence.
The injunctions were later set aside, and a damages inquiry was held pursuant to the appellants' undertaking as to damages.
The inquiry judge awarded the respondents $954,576 in damages, including compensation for a seized cellphone, loss of transition time, and legal fees, as well as a charging order for respondents' counsel.
The appellants appealed the damages award and the charging order.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the inquiry judge made no errors in assessing damages or granting the charging order.
