Summary

This is an appeal against the order of Robin Knowles J dated 16 June 2025. The order was made in long-running proceedings by the respondent (the Republic) against Mr Iskandar Safa (Mr Safa) and a number of companies which he was alleged to have founded and controlled, known as the Privinvest Group. The essence of the claims was that Mr Safa and the Privinvest (PI) companies had bribed officers of the Republic to enter into a series of long-term contracts which were entirely unsuited to the needs of the Republic, and which had caused it substantial losses.
