A Study of Case \u041040-167352\/2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted:<br><em>\u201cThe Citibank case, No.&nbsp;A40-167352\/2023, has effectively shaped the courts\u2019 current practice, although the trend toward imposing joint and several liability on the Russian subsidiaries of foreign companies began earlier \u2014 the case law was simply inconsistent. The Supreme Court took a balanced approach in its ruling, leaving the lower courts with broad discretion. While the Court did not explicitly prohibit holding Russian subsidiaries liable, recent decisions show that judges have become more attentive in their analysis of the facts, and are increasingly declining to impose joint and several liability. That said, we do still sometimes see counter-examples.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about the key takeaways from the conference at the <a href=\"https:\/\/pravo.ru\/story\/261256\/\">link <\/a>below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1600,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"news-type":[2],"class_list":["post-1599","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-type-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asari.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asari.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asari.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asari.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asari.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asari.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-type?post=1599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
