On August 22, 2023, Law360 quoted Neil Dooley in a piece titled "UK Sanctions Ruling Raises High Bar For Russia's Elite." The article discusses the UK High Court's recent decision to reject billionaire tycoon Eugene Shvidler's attempt to have sanctions against him declared unlawful.
Commenting on the decision Neil Dooley said "The message from the judgment is that the government has a very wide discretion, and the courts will generally give the government the benefit of the doubt where there is plainly a need for sanctions."
Noting that the High Court's findings were expected Dooley added “provided the government acts sensibly, the courts aren't going to second-guess them."
