The significance of a sanctions case centred on extraterritorial jurisdiction was outlined by Angelika Hellweger and Ulrich Schmidt.
In an article that was published by LexisNexis, they assessed the main points of Dana Astra IOOO v FCDO.
The case saw the Court of Appeal unanimously dismiss Dana Astra’s appeal against the High Court’s findings that Dana Astra, as a Belarus-registered company without any business or assets in the UK, was not within the UK’s jurisdiction for the purposes of Article 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Angelika and Ulrich explain the background to the case, the grounds of appeal, the findings and their implications.
