On the question of witness immunity and conspiracy there is a major reported decision of the Supreme Court of Gibraltar. The case was brought by Chevron and the case was decided by Butler J. The defendants applied to strike out the claim and failed. The story behind the litigation is fascinating (environmental pollution in Ecuador) and the litigation was and is being fought out all over the world. The Gibraltar claims were brought against litigation financiers for conspiring with claimants in a fraudulent claim. The Butler decision examined questions of immunity from suit in great detail. There are lessons for financiers as well as fraudsters.
