OVERVIEW

Joe Sullivan and Tom Nixon will discuss the circumstances in which a judgment or arbitration award can be challenged on the ground that it was procured by fraud. They will examine the impact of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Takhar v Gracefield Developments [2019] 2 WLR 984, in which they appeared for the Respondents, and the practical issues faced by practitioners when a client seeks to re-open a judgment or award because they consider it was procured by the successful party’s fraud.
