Supreme Court says no to Tchenguiz documents appeal

Robert-Tchenguiz-REX-THUMBRobert Tchenguiz has met with a final defeat in his bid to use 22 documents, disclosed during his settled claim against the Serious Fraud Office, in separate litigation in Guernsey.

In October, the Court of Appeal backed Eder J’s ruling refusing Tchenguiz permission for the 22 documents to be provided to counsel in Guernsey to be admitted in evidence in the ongoing case of Investec and another v Glenalla Properties Ltd and others.

And now the Supreme Court has announced that it has refused Tchenguiz permission to appeal further.

Lord Neuberger, Lady Hale and Lord Mance took the view that the application “does not raise an arguable point of law”.

In an earlier decision, Jackson LJ said that the Guernsey proceedings relate to certain arrangements described as “intercompany loans”.
