UK High Court grants Chinese victims in the Qian Zhimin case permission to appeal over property rights to more than 60,000 bitcoins.

October 21 - According to Caixin, just four days after the UK High Court ruled that Chinese law applies to the property rights dispute over more than 60,000 bitcoins in the Qian Zhimin case, approximately 16,000 Chinese victims involved in the UK recovery efforts have been given the opportunity to continue challenging this ruling.

The UK High Court has held another hearing, and the judge approved the Chinese victims' appeal against the October 12 ruling on the applicable law. Lawyers for all parties also discussed issues such as the litigation costs of the previous dispute over the applicable law, whether the approximately 16,000 individual applicants will continue their recovery efforts, and how they may withdraw.
