Court Has Power to Serve Disclosure Application on Third Party Outside the Jurisdiction
View Debevoise In Depth
Key takeaways:
- The High Court has power to permit service of non-party disclosure applications outside the jurisdiction of England and Wales.
- The discretion to do so will only be utilised where the letter of request regime ordinarily used to obtain information from non-parties abroad is not suitable.
- We expect that further guidance will be required from the Court of Appeal given the relatively novel decision.
