COMMERCIAL
Permission to Appeal application lodgedCase summary:Did the Court of Appeal apply the correct legal threshold for appellate review when declining to interfere with the trial judge’s findings of Ukrainian law? If a defendant misappropriates two sums of money from the claimant, and uses the proceeds of the second misappropriation to repay the amount taken by way of the first misappropriation, does the claimant still have a cause of action in respect of the first misappropriation? What is the correct legal test to determine whether a claimant has abandoned his pleaded case in favour of a new and unpleaded case?

COURT PROCEDURE
Permission to Appeal granted in partCase summary:This appeal is concerned with three issues: (1) Does the High Court have the inherent power to make a second order requiring a judgment debtor, or the officer of a judgment debtor, to attend Court for examination as to the means of the judgment debtor to satisfy its judgment debt, in circumstances where the Court has previously made such an order under CPR Part 71 but no longer has the power to make a fresh such order? (2) Must a judge, when exercising a discretionary power, explain any departure in his or her approach from that taken on an earlier exercise of discretion in the same or related proceedings? (3) Where a person is joined to proceedings for the purposes of costs only pursuant to CPR 46.2, and gives an address for service in that context, do they thereby agree to be served at that address with applications in the proceedings that relate to matters other than costs?
