(Between 1st-31st March 2021*) Case Update | Interesting read - Newcastle United Football Company Limited v (1) The Football Association Premier League Limited (2) #MichaelBeloffQC (3) #LordNeuberger (4) #LordDyson [2021] EWHC 349 (Comm). An application for removal of arbitrator dismissed!

Read More UK Supreme Court | We are pleased to announce that Lady Justice Rose will be joining the UK Supreme Court as a Justice on 13 April 2021. Many congratulations to Lady Justice Rose. Read More Motacus Constructions Ltd v Paolo Castelli SpA | An interesting read regarding a recent TCC judgment. The judgement confirms the English Courts have jurisdiction to enforce adjudication decisions in cross-border disputes under other governing laws. The construction contract was for a hotel project in London (UK) that was subject to Italian law and with an exclusive jurisdiction clause in favour of the French courts. "In my judgment, there was no need for the British Government to make any declaration in respect of construction contracts under and in accordance with art. 21 of the 2005 Hague Convention because the enforcement of an adjudicator's decision is already permitted by art. 7. For all of these reasons, I hold that an application for summary judgment to enforce an adjudicator's decision is an interim measure of protection within art. 7 of the 2005 Hague Convention. The court is not required to suspend or dismiss these proceedings."

"None of the fundamentals that attracted the international business and financial community to the Business and Property Courts in London over the last 50 years have changed. It is always as well to recall what those fundamentals actually are. They are the integrity of the judges and the arbitrators, and the certainty and reliability of the English common law. English law also has the agility to develop incrementally to deal with new commercial situations as and when they arise" Read More |
