Baljit Singh Bhandal challenges refusal to recognise £113m judgment

Baljit Singh Bhandal challenged IBRC’s refusal to recognise his £113 million judgment in the High Court on 5 February 2019.

The judgment arose from his claim over the sale of Updown Court, a 100-room mansion in Windlesham, Surrey.

Bhandal obtained the judgment against IBRC in 2013 and later submitted the claim in its special liquidation.

Special liquidators told him in 2017 that they were not bound by the claim, which they said was not true and bona fide.

The liquidators opposed his Irish High Court proceedings, arguing they were entitled to examine the underlying judgment and rely on a 2015 English judgment.

The hearing continued.
