The Tchenguiz brothers were yesterday granted permission by the High Court to sue Kaupthing Bank for one billion damages following the banks failure to block the claim on the grounds that the English court did not have jurisdiction to hear it.
The brothers had also brought claims in the Icelandic courts which had been thrown out.
