Eraaya Lifespaces Files Application for Summary Dismissal of FCCB Claims in London High Court
Eraaya Lifespaces Limited filed a comprehensive application on January 9, 2026, before the High Court of Justice, London, seeking to strike out counterclaims filed by three alleged bondholders in an ongoing FCCB dispute. The company applied under CPR Rule 3.4 and CPR Rule 24.2, arguing the counterclaims lack reasonable grounds and have no real prospect of success. Eraaya also sought a prohibitory injunction to prevent the alleged bondholders from asserting bondholder rights in jurisdictions outside England, maintaining that the claims are fundamentally untenable and represent litigation posturing across multiple forums.

Eraaya Lifespaces Limited has escalated its legal strategy in an ongoing Foreign Currency Convertible Bond (FCCB) dispute by filing a comprehensive application before the High Court of Justice, London, seeking decisive resolution of the litigation.
Court Application Details
On January 9, 2026, Eraaya filed applications seeking to strike out the Part 20 Claim and counterclaim filed by three alleged bondholders and obtain summary judgment in its favor. The application targets claims made by Multitude Growth Funds Limited, Bull Value Incorporated VCC Sub-Fund, and Selvi Capital PLC, who are admitted as second to fourth defendants in Eraaya's claim.
| Legal Basis: | Details |
|---|---|
| CPR Rule 3.4: | Counterclaim discloses no reasonable grounds for bringing claims |
| CPR Rule 24.2: | Counterclaim has no real prospect of success with no compelling reason to proceed to trial |
| Filing Date: | January 9, 2026 |
| Court: | High Court of Justice, London |
Injunctive Relief Sought
As ancillary relief, Eraaya has requested a prohibitory injunction under Section 37 of the Senior Courts Act, 1981, read with CPR Rule 25.1(1)(a). This injunction would restrain the alleged bondholders from asserting bondholder rights or representing themselves as entitled to enforce FCCB terms before courts or forums in any jurisdiction outside England. The company has also sought appropriate cost orders.
Company's Position on Claims
Eraaya maintains that the counterclaims advanced by the alleged bondholders are fundamentally untenable. The company expressed serious concern that FCCB-related developments have been appropriated as pressure mechanisms rather than grounded claims of entitlement. Key issues identified include:
- Counterclaims pursued outside the governing contractual framework
- Lack of legal foundation for the claims
- Parallel assertions across multiple forums to artificially construct leverage
- Misuse of litigation process and jurisdictional overreach
The company firmly rejects attempts to dictate outcomes through litigation posturing and considers its current applications necessary to curb process misuse, reinforce legal certainty, and safeguard investor interests.
