The High Court of England and Wales ruled that two monetary judgments from the UAE could be enforced in England under common law, despite being unenforceable in the UAE due to a statutory change. The case, Invest Bank PSC v. Ahmad Mohammed El-Husseini and Others, involved the bank's inability to enforce AED96 million judgments in the UAE and its subsequent successful enforcement action in England. The English court found the judgments to be final and binding with res judicata status, and the procedural impediment in the UAE did not affect their enforceability in England.
