The recent Court of Appeal decision in SCF Tankers Limited (formerly known as Fiona Trust & Holding Corporation) and Others v Yuri Privalov and Others [2017] EWCA Civ 1877 [J49], dismissed an appeal against an award of damages under a cross-undertaking for the losses suffered by a worldwide freezing injunction and security undertaking. It upheld the order that the appellants pay to the respondents $59.8 million in damages, plus interest of $11.04 million.
The decision provides a further illustration (following the 2014 decision of Abbey Forwarding Ltd (in liquidation) v Hone [2014] EWCA Civ 711) of judicial sympathy for the dilemma faced by those respondents served with wrongly-granted freezing injunctions.
