Author : Farqaleet Khokhar
Abstract :
In the landmark case VTB Capital Plc (VTB) v Nutritek International Corporation (Nutritek) two matters were considered and debated including the application of the doctrine of the “Forum Conveniens” to the claim of tort and common law jurisdiction to “pierce the corporate veil.” This comment is restricted to critical analysis of the orthodox and unpredictable grounds that were assumed by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom while identifying the “forum conveniens” and determining common law jurisdiction to “pierce the veil of a corporation”.
