Case Summaries
Maranello Rosso Ltd v Lohomij BV & Ors [2022] EWCA Civ 1667 – 21 December 2022 (Asplin LJ, Arnold LJ, Phillips LJ)
Following a dispute, the Seller of a premium car collection reached agreement with the selling auction house in respect of "all and any claims". The Seller later sued its financing company and the auction house for conspiracy to injure its interests by unlawful means (selling the cars at an undervalue). The CA confirmed the ruling of the Court below that the settlement agreement released the parties and compromised even claims for fraud and dishonesty, despite these neither featuring in the original dispute nor being expressly mentioned in the settlement agreement.
