Gibson Dunn partner denied leave to appeal

Peter Gray, the Dubai-based partner who has been suspended by Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, saw his application to appeal against a ruling that he deliberately misled the court dismissed in 15 minutes yesterday.

Mr Gray could still decide to ask the Court of Appeal to hear an application to appeal. He would be appealing against a ruling of the High Court that he deliberately misled the court. Information supplied by Mr Gray was taken into account by the court when it decided to freeze US$100m of assets of a citizen of Djibouti, Abdourahman Boreh. Yesterday, the ruling judge, Mr Justice Flaux, increased the costs awarded to Mr Boreh. 

Possible criminal charges

Another hearing looks likely to be set - one in which it will be decided if Mr Gray should face criminal charges for his role in the case and in the conviction, now held to be unsafe, of Mr Boreh. Source: The Lawyer
