Appeals (Court of Appeal)

• Anfi – The Court dismissed Anfi’s appeal and ordered them to pay costs. The appeal argued that the contract had been terminated because the claimants had not paid maintenance fees; the court ruled that only a contract that is not null and void under mandatory law can be terminated. Court costs were awarded. £12,247 awarded.
