📂 Case Details

Case Title: Gater Assets Ltd v Naftogaz of Ukraine
Citation: [2008] EWHC 237 (Comm)
Court: High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division (Commercial Court)
Judge: Mr Justice Tomlinson
Date: 15 February 2008
Legal Area: International Arbitration – Enforcement – Public Policy – State-Owned Entities

In Gater Assets Ltd v Naftogaz of Ukraine [2008] EWHC 237 (Comm), the English Commercial Court examined the boundaries of public policy and international comity in enforcing a foreign arbitral award against a state-owned enterprise. The decision illustrates the English courts’ strong pro-enforcement stance under the New York Convention (1958), even when the losing party is a major state company.

Parties:
Claimant: Gater Assets Ltd (assignee of Monégasque de Réassurances SAM)
Defendant: Naftogaz of Ukraine
