Comparative Analysis Of Injunctive Relief Available Under English And Kazakh Law: Practitioner’s Perspective

Introduction

We often read about the large number of substantial disputes that are brought before the English courts involving parties with no connection to England. Cases considered by the English Commercial Court often involve foreign parties whose business interests are located outside the country and issues in dispute which have no connection with England. Why do so many wealthy businessmen strive to have their disputes resolved by the English courts?

There are many reasons for this phenomenon. One reason often cited is the independence and quality of the English judges (and legal practitioners). However, this cannot be the only reason. The courts and legal professionals of many EU member states and the United States can boast the same qualities. The additional ingredient that England is seen as being able to offer (more so than other jurisdictions) is a legal system that is best able to respond promptly, flexibly and effectively to the needs of businesses.
