Article summary: "Restructuring & Insolvency analysis: The High Court reaffirmed the primacy of English jurisdiction over the governance of English companies while recognising limits on its extraterritorial reach. Mr Justice Mann declined to restrain De Beers from settling US proceedings initiated by a South Carolina ‘long-arm’ receiver, holding that English courts will not compel defendants to contest foreign litigation they wish to resolve commercially. The decision preserves the English court’s declarations that the receiver lacked authority while clarifying that third parties may settle such proceedings without risking contempt. The judgment underscores a pragmatic balance between protecting English corporate sovereignty and respecting international comity in cross-border disputes."
