Quoting the original judgment, as to why Cherney should be allowed to sue Deripaska in England—
“As to the first of Mr Cherney’s concerns, Mr Stewart [Deripaska’s lawyer] submitted that Mr Cherney is no more likely to be the subject of an assassination attempt in Russia than he was in Israel or is anywhere else. I do not accept that. Whoever tried to have him killed in Israel was almost certainly Russian based. The risk of a successful assassination seems to me likely to be greater in the place where the person or persons who might wish to have him killed reside and where the requisite personnel and materiel are likely to be more readily available.”
—the appellate court comments:
That assessment is based on sound reasoning and it is not for the Court of Appeal to reassess the position.
