A London court has allowed the ex-wife of Russian oligarch Vladimir Potanin to pursue a multi-billion dollar claim against his stake in Nornickel, potentially setting the stage for one of the highest-value divorce cases in history.
Natalia Potanina is seeking significant financial relief following their 2014 divorce, specifically demanding 50 per cent of her former husband's beneficial interest in shares of Nornickel. Mr Potanin, who serves as chief executive of Norilsk Nickel – the world's largest palladium producer and a major refined nickel producer – faces this mammoth claim after the Court of Appeal ruled on Thursday that the case could proceed.
