International Quarterly is a newsletter which provides informative and practical information regarding legal and commercial developments in construction and energy sectors around the world.

Issue 39, 2024

This issue focuses on updates and reforms across the global legal landscape, looking first at the latest update to the International Bar Association's Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration. We then look at a recent judgment which demonstrated the US Courts' pro-arbitration and pro-enforcement stance, followed by reviewing an English High Court ruling that set aside a fabricated £70 million award where no arbitration agreement existed and no arbitration had taken place. The issue concludes with a consideration of a recent UK Supreme Court judgment which looked at the compensatory principle and the principle of mitigation.
