SAS INSTITUTE INC v WORLD PROGRAMMING LTD [2020] EWCA Civ 599
Considers principles applicable to anti-suit injunctions [90] and anti-enforcement injunctions [92]. Considers the importance of comity and delay [100]. An injunction should not have been granted to prevent an assignment of debts situated in the USA and there had been no good reason to restrain enforcement of a US judgment against those debts [120]. An injunction was justified in relation to debts situated in England [127].

TIMES TRADING CORP v NATIONAL BANK OF FUJAIRAH (DUBAI BRANCH) [2020] EWHC 1078 (Comm)
Considers the test for the issue of an anti-suit injunction restraining foreign proceedings [38], specifically in a case where the proceedings were said to have been brought contrary to a London arbitration clause but the defendant denied the existence of the contract. An injunction was granted subject to a condition requiring the claimant to undertake not to rely on any time bar argument in the London arbitration [114].
