Winning the Case, Losing the Award? From Advocacy Strategies to Enforcement Limits in India - UK Arbitrations
3 Jun 14:00 - 15:30
Registration will begin at 1:30pm, with opportunity to network after the panel from 3:30pm
Panel 1: Winning the Right Way? Advocacy, Guerrilla Tactics, and Due Process in Arbitration
Where is the line between persuasive advocacy and procedural abuse and does pushing it ever pay off? The panel will consider common tactical manoeuvres - ranging from document production strategies to late evidence- and assess how tribunals deploy tools such as cost sanctions and adverse inferences in response. A comparative lens on England and India will highlight differing thresholds and the growing challenge of due process paranoia.
Panel 2: Limits on Recovery: Public Policy, Penalties, and Interest in India–UK Arbitration
Winning big on damages is one thing, getting paid is another. This panel examines when damages, interest, and penalty-style provisions start to unravel at the enforcement stage, and how public policy becomes a decisive battleground. Drawing on India - UK contrasts, we focus on what survives and what doesn’t.
