BIG BAG and APELNS have a combined turnover of approximately SEK 215 million and both have attracted attention as so-called gazelle companies. Fagerberg & Dellby invests in Swedish family-owned companies and is owned by the founders Christina Fagerberg and Ulrika Dellby together with several family business entrepreneurs and pension funds.

Vinge’s team advising Fagerberg & Dellby consisted of partners Malin Leffler and Fabian Ekeblad together with, among others, associates Jonas Johansson, Paul Dali, Emma Lindelöf and Sofia Berg.

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.
