High Court of England and Wales upholds LCIA award declining jurisdiction; fraudulently backdated LTI not binding; s67 application over USD 1.3 million bonus dismissed
Zalina Kanametova v OSG Records Management [Europe] Limited [2026] EWHC 1196 (Comm) Incentive agreement Judge Neil Cadwallader of the Commercial Court, King’s Bench Division, within the High Court of England and Wales, held that the LCIA arbitrator’s decision was rightly issued on evidence showing the long-term incentive agreement (LTI) said to guarantee a bonus to claimant Zalina Kanametova was not binding because it had been ‘fraudulently backdated’. As a result, the LCIA arbitrator properly determined there was no jurisdiction over Kanametova’s claim for a USD 1.3 million bonus against the respondent, Cyprus-based OSG Records Management (Europe) Ltd. (referred to as OSG). Kanametova served as general director of OSG’s subsidiary, OSG Records Management Centre LLC (referred to as OSG Russia), from 2011–18. She contended that in 2015 she executed the LTI, which included an arbitration clause, and that it was also signed by Krzysztof...

195th PD Update: DCP to accept digital issuing of ‘Other Remedy’ claims (injunctions, declarations, rescission) and CCA 2006 unfair-relationship claims (England and Wales)
The Master of the Rolls and the Minister of State for Justice have approved the 195th Practice Direction (PD) Update, expanding the reach of the Damages Claim Portal (DCP) in CPR PD 51ZB so that specified non-monetary claims-termed ‘Other Remedy Claims’-can be lodged online alongside a principal damages claim, provided both sides have legal representation, rather than relying on paper filing. It further includes within scope disputes concerning unfair relationships under the Consumer Credit Act 2006, extending the update’s application. This reform shifts matters presently dealt with on paper into a digital workflow to enhance efficiency, aligning connected remedies with the same online route as the main damages claim. The amendments take effect on 27 May 2026. The additional category spans three remedies: injunctions, declarations and rescission.

Court and the legal profession—overview
This topic brings together material relevant across the civil courts, including links to guidance issued by individual courts and information about fees charged within the civil courts, as appropriate. For an outline of the structure and hierarchy of the civil courts in England and Wales, see: Courts and Tribunals Judiciary-Structure of Courts and Tribunals System.
Online dispute resolution and the online court
In his Final Report on the Civil Courts Structure Review, released on 27 July 2016, Lord Justice Briggs proposed establishing an online court to determine certain disputes. Since then, the judiciary and others have widely debated online dispute resolution (ODR) and the necessity of digitising the dispute resolution process for civil proceedings in England and Wales. HM Courts and Tribunals Service embarked on a significant reform programme for the justice system, which included the introduction of schemes piloting online court environments and initiatives to test online court environments. The Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022 also made provision for Online Procedure Rules (OPR) to regulate practice and procedure for online civil proceedings, and for an Online Procedure Rule Committee (OPRC) to create the OPR.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
