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.
