🌟 Proud Moment: Successful Enforcement of Arbitration Clause in Complex Contractual Dispute 🌟 I am pleased to share a significant legal victory from a recent case where I had the privilege of representing the defendant. The plaintiff had lodged a claim against my client in the Intermediate Court of Mauritius for an alleged breach of contract. The contract in question had seemingly contradictory clauses: Clause 14 mandated arbitration for disputes, while Clause 18 suggested the matter could be taken to the courts of Mauritius. In a well-reasoned judgment, Hon. Magistrate C. Servansing-Bhuruth ruled that the apparent contradiction between Clauses 14 and 18 did not invalidate the arbitration clause. The Intermediate Court found that Clause 14 of the lease agreement is indeed a fully valid and enforceable arbitration clause, thereby directing the matter to be referred to the arbitral tribunal. This outcome not only upholds the principle of arbitration as a preferred dispute resolution mechanism but also underscores the importance of clear contractual drafting. #Arbitration #ContractLaw #Mauritius #DisputeResolution #AlternativeDisputeResolution

One hot NZ legal topic this year is bound to be the significance of arbitration clauses in liquidation proceedings – whether at the statutory demand stage or liquidation stage. Which approach should NZ follow?  Paul Heath KC spoke about this thoughtfully at the AMINZ conference in August 2023. William Porter has written an interesting article on the topic suggesting NZ should follow Singapore's approach ((2023) 27 NZBLQ 93). And now the Associate Judges are flagging the issue for further consideration ([2024] NZHC 47). This will be a big issue for creditors with standard form arbitration clauses, such as lessors and construction contractors. This will be a topic to be discussed at RITANZ and AMINZ as it is throughout the common law world. #litigation, #ritanz, #insolvency, #arbitration, #aminz, #ritanz, #insol, #AMINZ Lindsay & Francis

The Arbitration Law of Indonesia does not recognize ‘non-binding arbitration’ According to Law No. 30 of 1999 (UU No. 30 Tahun 1999), the arbitral award is final and binding, Article 60. That is to say, the Arbitration Law of Indonesia does not recognize a non-binding arbitration. The Law is in line with the New York Convention of 1958 on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Article III of the Convention states that each Contracting State shall recognize arbitral awards as binding…
