Investec Bank plc v Protopapa [2025] EWHC 3202 (Comm)
Key Principle
Where a contract contains an English jurisdiction clause coupled with a forum non conveniens waiver, a defendant faces a very high threshold to challenge the English court's jurisdiction, and is contractually estopped from contending that England is not the appropriate forum by the express terms in which it agreed to the English courts being the most convenient forum.
