“But the striking thing about the report from the Swedish Court of Enforcement and Execution is that although that was not drawn to the attention of the learned deputy judge, it is plain - and Miss Higgs confirms - that it was within the knowledge of the defendant himself, although he did not draw it to the attention of his English lawyers. In those circumstances, the alternative application which Miss Higgs has not made, but has intimated to me, that the existence of this order might be a justification for a wholesale review of Mr Berry’s order, is simply not tenable, because although, no doubt, his English lawyers were unaware of it, he was aware of it, he knew of the figure of 47 million Krone as the estimate in February of the value of the claims and relevant assets frozen. Whether that is, in fact, now the value is a quite different matter. If it had been thought to be of materiality, he could have caused it to be put before the court. He did not. The fact that he did not seems to me to bar any suggestion that the basis of Mr Berry’s order should be reviewed.”
