Following the making of various costs orders against the Appellant, on 22 June 2023, the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) Commercial Court granted the First Respondent an order for sale in respect of the Appellant’s shareholding in Dondore. On 31 July 2024, The BVI Court of Appeal found that the Appellant did not have standing to pursue an appeal. This resulted in a strike out order on 31 October 2024.
