Arbitration

Reliance Industries Ltd and another company v Union of India [2018] EWHC 822 (Comm), [2018] All ER (D) 58 (May)

The claimants succeeded on only one of nine challenges to the findings of an arbitral tribunal. The proceedings concerned numerous issues arising from agreements that permitted the claimants to exploit petroleum reserves in India. The Commercial Court held that the tribunal had failed to properly consider the claimants’ case that some categories of development costs should be recoverable.

Contempt of court

Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust v Atwal [2018] EWHC 961 (QB), [2018] All ER (D) 16 (May)

The defendant was in contempt of court as a result of fraudulently exaggerating the continuing effect of his injuries in relation to a claim for damages for clinical negligence against the claimant NHS Trust. The Queen’s Bench Division found that 14 allegations of contempt of court had been proven against the defendant, with the penalty to be imposed in due course.
