AMT Futures Ltd v Marzillier

For the purposes of special jurisdiction in tort under Article 5(3) of the Brussels I Regulation (44/2001), the 'place where the harmful event occurred' is the place of the direct and immediate harm, not the place of consequential loss; so a claim against foreign lawyers for inducing clients to breach an English exclusive jurisdiction clause by suing abroad falls to be brought where the foreign proceedings were instigated, not in England.
