What is the contractual basis for an anti-suit injunction in England?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Li v. Rao, 2019 BCCA 264 (CanLII):
The operative principle for the contractual basis for an anti-suit injunction in England is that where a party has obtained a right not to be sued in a foreign proceeding through an agreement, the opposing party must show strong reasons why the court should not protect that right by way of an anti-suit injunction: The Eleftheria, [1970] P. 94 at 99–100; Donohue v. Armco Inc. and Others, [2001] UKHL 64 at paras. 24, 53.
