Hearings in the Supreme Court are now shown live on the Court’s website.

On Tuesday 1st March the Supreme Court will hear the case of AIC Ltd v Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, on appeal from [2020] EWCA Civ 1585. The court will consider several issues: A. Whether the execution of the Court of Appeal’s judgment and order should be stayed pending the resolution of this application for permission to appeal and, if permission is granted, pending the appeal. B. In the proposed appeal: (i) What is the correct approach to an application to reconsider an order after it has been made, but before it has been sealed, (ii) Whether the Court of Appeal erred by interfering in the judge’s exercise of her discretion in relation to the jurisdiction to reconsider an order, and (iii) Whether FAAN, the applicant seeking reconsideration of the order, required relief from sanctions under the Civil Procedure Rules in circumstances where the relevant order only permitted AIC to apply for enforcement of the arbitral award rather than to enforce it straight away if FAAN failed to comply with the order.

On Wednesday 2nd March the Supreme Court will hear the case of Candey Ltd v Crumpler and another (as Joint Liquidators of Peak Hotels and Resorts Ltd (In Liquidation)), on appeal from [2020] EWCA Civ 26. The Court will consider the following issue: What action must a solicitor take when entering into an additional security arrangement with a client to avoid waiving its rights under a pre-existing equitable lien (or creating an inference of waiver)?
