Dillon Eustace Cayman Successfully Defend Injunction Application

In a recent judgment delivered in Al Jomaih Power Limited & Denham Investment Limited v. IGCF SPV 21 Limited & KES Power Limited¹, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has clarified that "a contract breaker cannot at the same time seek an injunction to enforce performance of the contract by his counterparty – that is the antithesis of doing equity". The Grand Court found that the English decision in Chappell v. Times Newspapers Ltd², which – until now – did not appear to have been cited in the Cayman Islands, represents the law of the jurisdiction.

Dillon Eustace's Cayman Litigation team of Conal Keane (Partner), Niall Dodd (Counsel) and Alan Quigley (Senior Associate) acted for the successful party, IGCF SPV 21 Limited. The team was led by Graham Chapman KC of 4 New Square Chambers.
