I. INTRODUCTION Generative AI is no longer a technological novelty. It has moved from the margins of experimentation into everyday decision-making. For many individuals and businesses, the first step now in understanding a problem is to ask a generative AI tool: What does this mean? What are my options? What should I do next? This […]
I. INTRODUCTION Shipping disputes involve multinational parties and assets that are perpetually mobile. This means the ultimate success of the claim is often secondary to a more immediate and pragmatic question: will there be anything left to enforce against when the dust settles?

INTRODUCTION Cross-border insolvency proceedings routinely require courts to navigate complex questions of jurisdiction, recognition, and cooperation in circumstances where corporate structures, debtor’s assets and/or stakeholders are dispersed across multiple jurisdictions.

Among these […]

I. INTRODUCTION The DIFC’s conduit jurisdiction has long been one of its most attractive features. Its distinctive value lies in allowing the DIFC Courts to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and awards even where there is no separate territorial nexus or no assets located within the DIFC, allowing a judgment-creditor to obtain recognition and enforcement in […]
This article explores the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in India from non-reciprocating countries under Section 44(b) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“Arbitration Act”). It outlines two alternative routes available instead of getting a judgment in terms of the award and enforcing it as a foreign judgment: enforcement through a fresh suit under […]
INTRODUCTION The FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design-Build, 1999 (“Yellow Book”) is one of the most widely adopted standard form frameworks in international construction and infrastructure projects. The Yellow Book allocates risk in these projects through a detailed contractual structure.

INTRODUCTION The question of when to value cryptocurrency losses can be just as important as the question of liability itself.
