Abstract:

The decision of the Court of Appeal in Mbasogo v Logo concerning the jurisdiction of the English courts to enforce foreign penal, revenue or other public laws is an important judgment containing seeds of how the law will develop, although it will be for the House of Lords to make the final move. The article also briefly considers the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in Iran v Barakat and how that impacts on the Mbasogo case.
