Expert, English Courts crypto- He said he adapted very easily to the increasingly complex situation regarding asset litigation. At this point English courtsseems to have adapted quite quickly in the face of increasing crypto lawsuits.
The Case in question is of a first nature
The lawsuit filed for the property rights of a wallet worth 30 million pounds has come to the fore in the crypto industry. HDR Global Trading Ltd.submitted to the high court and HDR’s own exchange on BitMex It started when he applied to decide whether an account he created belonged to Nexo or former director Georgi Shulev. HDR froze the account when Nexo’s board appointed Shulev as director, and that’s where the conflict arose.
Shulev claims that he opened the wallet containing more than 800 Bitcoins with his own e-mail and that some of the Bitcoins in it belong to him. On the other hand, Nexo claims that the account is a trading account and all the assets it holds are owned by the firm.
On the other hand, although Shulev and Nexo agreed before the trial, this did not affect the decision much. Shulev would transfer access, control and ownership of the HDR account to Nexo for $1 million. Shulev, on the other hand, said that the definition of cryptoassets is not applicable because it is too broad and vague.
However, the court decided that Shulev had not done his part and decided to transfer $10 million in crypto to Nexo before Nexo paid $1 million.
The court added that the HDR account will be left to Nexo and Shulev in addition to what needs to be done.
