Magellan Spirit Aps v Vitol Sa ‘Magellan Spirit’: ComC 4 Mar 2016

The Owner of the Magellan Spirit applied for an anti-suit injunction to restrain VSA from suing the Owner in Nigeria on the ground that the parties had agreed to refer the dispute to the jurisdiction of the High Court in London. VSA denies that there is such an agreement and has cross-applied for a declaration that the English court has no jurisdiction to try the Owner’s claim in this action.
