The Switzerland-based, but Ukrainian-owned, iron ore producer Ferrexpo is to take a long running legal dispute to the High Court in London.
The dispute, with Gilson Investments, and other parties, relates to the sale by Gilson in 2002 of a large stake (reported by the Financial Times to be 40%) in Ferrexpo Poltava, one of the world's largest iron ore mines.
Gilson wants that sale cancelled and is pursuing action through the Ukranian courts.
