Case Significance
Ivanishvili, Bidzina and others v Credit Suisse Trust Ltd [2023] SGHC(I) 14 is a reserved judgment of Patricia Bergin IJ in the Singapore International Commercial Court, delivered on 19 September 2023 in Suit No 4 of 2021. The five plaintiffs — Bidzina Ivanishvili, Ekaterine Khvedelidze, Tsotne Ivanishvili (a minor), Gvantsa Ivanishvili and Bera Ivanishvili — and the defendant Credit Suisse Trust Limited returned for the finalisation of orders consequent on the merits judgment delivered on 26 May 2023 ([2023] SGHC(I) 9). The judgment addresses three main issues: the quantification of the amount payable under Model 1B given the finding that the defendant's breach occurred on 30 March 2008 rather than 31 December 2007, the costs of the proceedings, and whether a declaration should be made that the Deed of Amendment and Restatement is void and/or unenforceable.
