Simon Picken QC led John Bignall and Josephine Higgs – Interest – Damages – Commercial Cases – Appropriate rate of interest on damages – Case involving foreign currency

At a hearing on 29 September 2005 following the Preliminary Issues judgment the Court gave directions for a full trial to determine what sums were ‘in fact’ due to Brasoil under the Side Letter Agreements and what other sums Brasoil was entitled to recover in restitution and/or on other bases (i.e. where there was no relevant Side Letter Agreement or where the payment made by Brasoil exceeded the value of the particular Side Letter Agreement).
