Summary Judgment and Striking Out Allegations of Civil Fraud – Foglia v Family Officer Ltd & Ors [2021] EWHC 650 (Comm) – Littleton Chambers
‘Traditionally, claims against financial institutions involving allegations of fraud, LIBOR manipulation and unlawful means conspiracy have not been amenable to strike out or summary determination. However, the English courts are increasingly demonstrating a willingness to use the interim remedies of summary judgment and strike out involving allegations of fraud without the need for a full trial, in “appropriate” cases.’
Littleton Chambers, 7th April 2021
