In the recent English case Syspal Capital Ltd v Truman & Another [2024] EWHC 1561 (Ch) it been inter alia held – (adopting and following RE Euro Accessories Ltd [2021] EWHC 47 (Ch)) - that the process of interpretation to arrive at the true meaning of a provision in a company’s articles of association, must concentrate on the natural and ordinary meaning of the words used, when viewed in light of the scheme and purpose of the articles in general, any extrinsic facts about the company, or its membership that would reasonably be ascertainable by any reader of the company’s constitution and public filings at Companies House, and commercial common sense.

The above principle has been also approved by the Court of Appeal in DnaNudge Ltd v Ventura Capital GP Ltd [2023] EWCA CIV 142.

Given the absence of any Cypriot case law on the above matter, Cypriot courts may use the above English case law as guidance to decide such issues.

An important decision of the District Court of Limassol highlights the necessity of strict compliance with the procedural requirements governing challenge of jurisdiction of the Court under the Civil Procedure Rules.

The application sought retrospective relief from sanctions of failing to indicate, in the Notice of Appearance, an intention to challenge jurisdiction and to file the relevant application within a 14-day period. The Court applied the principles established in Denton v TH White Ltd [2014] EWCA Civ 906.

Applying the Denton test, the Court first considered the seriousness and significance of the default. Particular weight was given to the fact that the procedural requirements concerned jurisdiction, a matter of fundamental importance which according to the 2023 Civil Procedure Rules requires to be addressed at an early stage of proceedings. The failure was therefore regarded as serious, particularly given that both required procedural steps had been omitted.

The Court then considered the reasons for the default. It was not persuaded that the change of legal representation provided sufficient justification. The evidence indicated that the original position had been deliberately adopted following legal advice, rather than resulting from a simple administrative error or omission. A subsequent change of lawyer could not, provide a basis for a second chance to revisit the issue.

Finally, the Court considered all the circumstances of the case, including the need for litigation to be conducted efficiently and at proportionate cost, as well as the importance of enforcing compliance with the Rules, and dismissed the application.

Our office acted for the Respondents and the case was handled by Ms Anna Lamprou.

The District Court of Limassol recently decided on an application to vary a freezing order, which had already been made absolute, seeking the release of shares for the purposes of corporate restructuring and raising additional capital.

The Court repeated that, pursuant to section 32(2) of Law 14/60, it has a broad discretion to vary an interim order where “reasonable cause” is established. That discretion, however, does not provide a party with a second chance to revisit matters that have already been determined, unless there has been a material change in circumstances or new evidence has emerged.

The main issue was the sufficiency of the evidence. The Court found that the allegations concerning the necessity of the proposed transaction, remained unsubstantiated and theoretical. A claim of commercial necessity solely is not sufficient, without concrete supporting evidence.

The Court also considered whether the proposed transaction fell within the applicant’s ordinary course of business. It noted that, according to English case law , a transaction falling outside the ordinary course of business may nevertheless justify a variation of a freezing order, provided that the variation does not undermine the purpose of the order, namely, the preservation of assets to ensure the effective enforcement of a potential future judgment.

In the circumstances, the Court found that the proposed restructuring would create uncertainty as to the monitoring and effective preservation of the assets. The undertakings proposed were considered insufficient, while the application itself was found to be premature. Ultimately the Court dismissed the Application stating that the variation would not be in the interests of justice.

Our office acted for the Respondents and the case was handled by Mr Soteris Pittas and Mr Alexandros Mavrommatis.

In a recent Cyprus Appellate Court judgement, it has been inter alia held that the Certificate of enforceability issued, as per the provisions of Article 54 of the European Regulation 44/2001, constitutes a confirmation that the Court of Member State, which has issued same, had examined and verified, that the subject matter of the judgment, which is sought to be enforced, falls within the ambit of the provisions of the EU Regulation 44/2001.

The Cyprus Appellate Court adopted and followed the European Court judgment in Ágnes Weil v Géza Gulácsi (C-361/18 – dated 6/9/2019) where it was inter alia held, that the enforcement procedure, under EU Regulation 44/2001, precludes, like the enforcement under Regulation 1215/12, any subsequent review, on the part of a Court of the Member State addressed, on whether the action giving rise to the judgment for which enforcement is sought, falls within the scope of EU Regulation 44/2001, the grounds for challenging the declaration that a judgement is enforceable being exhaustively laid down by that regulation.
