Claimant’s application for three things. First, an interim and in due course a final antisuit injunction pursuant to section 37(1) of the Senior Courts Act 1981 to restrain the defendant from pursuing proceedings against the claimant in the People’s Court of a particular province in Vietnam, which I will call the Vietnamese action, in breach of an arbitration agreement providing for arbitration in London. Second, for permission for alternative service of the claim form and documents relating to the application for an interim antisuit injunction. Third, for permission to serve those documents out of the jurisdiction pursuant to CPR 62.5(1)(c) and/or CPR 6.36 and para.3.1(6)(c) of practice direction 6B.
