Summary

A German bank in voluntary liquidation sought an interim injunction against a QFC-incorporated holding company in a case related to unpaid arbitration awards. The bank had won awards totaling over EUR 250 million against subsidiaries of a Russian company but faced enforcement challenges. The bank alleged that the QFC holding company’s shares were transferred to another entity to evade enforcement. The court granted the injunction to prevent asset dissipation. The bank needed to show a prima facie case, potential irreparable harm, and balance of convenience to obtain the injunction, which it successfully did.
