White & Case has agreed to a temporary halt in proceedings in its counter claim against Saudi tycoon Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber after the property magnate tried and failed to obtain confidential documents from the firm regarding Barclays’ transactions in the Kingdom.
The firm is now negotiating a settlement after launching a counter claim against Al Jaber, who had originally petitioned to obtain pre-action disclosure of “confidential settlement documents between Barclays Bank PLC and certain agencies of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” from White & Case.
