‚Evidence destroyed‘ in war of the tycoons

(18.04.) In preliminary hearings last week, Mr Pinchuk‘s QC, Lord Grabiner, highlighted the unorthodox attitude of Messrs Bogolyubov and Kolomoisky towards keeping documents relating to their business activities. Citing testimony from Mr Kolomoisky‘s own lawyers, Freshfields, the billionaire‘s „standard working practice“ had been to dispose of all hard- copy documents immediately. He was also, Freshfields said, in the habit of disposing of all manuscript notes taken during business meetings.
