July 05, 2010

Vinge and Clifford Chance have advised a consortium of Swedish and foreign banks in connection with the financing of the New Karolinska Hospital in Solna which will be built, run and maintained by Skanska and Innisfree on behalf of Stockholm County Council. The project is Skanska’s largest project to date with a total project value of approximately SEK 14.5 billion. This is also the second Swedish so-called PPP (Public Private Partnership) after the Alranda railway and, when completed in 2015, the new Karolinska Hopistal will be the world’s largest PPP hospital.

Vinge’s team consisted of partner Maria-Pia Midenbäck Hope and, among others, associates Dan Hanqvist, Maria Schultzberg, Peter Forsberg, Christina Rosén, Sofia Berg and Albert Wållgren.

The prohibition imposed by EU law on complying with secondary sanctions laid down by the United States against Iran may be relied on in civil proceedings

 On Tuesday 21 December, the EU Court of Justice delivered its long-awaited judgment in the Bank Melli Iran case (Case C-124/20) on the interpretation of the EU Blocking Statute regarding compliance with third country sanctions. According to the Court, the prohibition imposed by EU law on complying with secondary sanctions laid down by the United States against Iran may be relied on in civil proceedings. Following the Court’s judgment, anyone seeking to terminate a contract with a person or business subject to US sanctions must thoroughly consider if the termination is motivated by other reasons than the existing sanctions and reflect on whether to apply to the Commission for a derogation from the Blocking Statute.
