London | Australian financier Lex Greensill has scored a rare court win after a British judge agreed to withhold evidence from a $7 billion set of Australian cases, and told insurer Tokio Marine to pay half his legal bill.

The judgment, which the businessman’s opponents described as “a score draw”, came in a complex web of interconnected British and Australian cases – all related to the spectacular collapse of Mr Greensill’s eponymous supply chain financing empire in 2021.
