As a result\, the EU courts have been almost besieged by entities and individua ls (among them\, Iranian banks Bank Mellat and Saderat\, the Iranian Natio nal Oil Company\, several Russian entities and a Belarus sports team) chal lenging those designations or listings and often finding the courts favour able to their suits.\n\nThese cases have raised intriguing issues about th e right balance between security considerations and legal procedure and pr inciple – and the use of evidence – and have frequently challenged the listing authorities to revisit the grounds on which they base their cases .\n\nIn his presentation\, Philip Moser QC of London’s Monckton Chambers \, who has acted on behalf of plaintiffs in several leading sanctions case s including Abdulrahim v Council &\; Commission (resulting in the plain tiff successfully having his listing as a person associated with Al-Qaida annulled) will discuss some of the lessons emerging from such challenges." \n\nFor more information and to book a place please click here for the WorldECR Forum (U S ) Programme 2015 .\n\n \;\n\n \; CATEGORIES:General LOCATION:No.5 Chambers\, No.5 Chambers\, 5th Floor\, 7 Savoy Ct\, London\, WC2R 0EX\, United Kingdom GEO:51.510481;-0.120654 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=No.5 Chambers\, 5th Floor\, 7 Savoy Ct\, London\, WC2R 0EX\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITL E=No.5 Chambers:geo:51.510481,-0.120654 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20150329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
