Second judgment concerning the Claimant’s application to dismiss the Defendants’ application to stay the Claimant’s actions on the grounds of abuse of process. The court was now asked whether it is arguable that the actions should be stayed on the grounds that they had been pursued for a collateral purpose and so were an abuse of the process of the court. The alleged collateral purpose was that the actions have been brought to assist the President of Kazakhstan in his scheme to eliminate Mr. Ablyazov as a political opponent.
