(1) JAMAICA PRIVATE POWER COMPANY LIMITED and (2) PRIVATE POWER OPERATORS LIMITED |
Defendants |
Pursuant to the Practice Statement issued by the Master of the Rolls on 9th July 1990 I hereby certify that the attached text records my judgment in this matter and direct that no further record or transcript of the same need be made.
Mr Justice Moore-Bick:
“OVERSEAS JURISDICTION CLAUSE
It is hereby agreed that:-
1. This insurance shall be governed by the law of … …whose Courts shall have jurisdiction in any dispute arising hereunder; and
2. Any summons, notice or process to be served upon the Underwriters for the purpose of instituting any legal proceedings against them in connection with this Insurance may be served upon
who have authority to accept service on their behalf.”
In this case it was completed so as to provide for Jamaican law and jurisdiction.
“Be that as it may, we now have instructions to accept service on behalf of the defendants and we would therefore request that you send us sealed copies of the writs and statements of claim.”
In response to that request Myers, Fletcher & Gordon served the writs and statements of claim on Dunn, Cox by post on 14th August.
