Bennett v. Islamic Republic of Iran
John Adair and Gord McGuire represented the plaintiffs in an action to enforce a judgment against Iran for supporting terrorism. Our firm obtained a Mareva injunction against Iran, the first injunctive relief ever in Canada against a foreign state and the first such use of the new Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act. We also successfully obtained a Mareva injunction over Iran’s diplomatic property, a matter involving complex issues of international law.
