We represented a Ukrainian private investor in civil proceedings before a court in an EU jurisdiction concerning the destruction of an industrial facility during the armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The factory was located in territory that is now under Ukrainian control, and the claim concerned military action attributed to the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

The case raised fundamental questions at the intersection of public international law and civil procedure: whether the Russian Federation could rely on state immunity where the alleged conduct was unlawful under international law, and whether a private individual could seek damages arising from an illicit use of force prohibited by public international law.<\/p>\n

The matter required careful analysis of jurisdictional immunity, the prohibition on the use of force, and access to civil remedies for private claimants. The case value is confidential.<\/p>\n
