Seminar Synopsis
Since 2019, a series of investors have filed applications in the Australian Federal courts to enforce over US $7 billion worth of investor-State awards, despite the parties having little or no connection to Australia. On 12 April 2023, the High Court of Australia ruled on the Kingdom of Spain’s loss of State immunity in a suit by EU energy investors, while India’s claim to immunity from award enforcement action by Mauritian investors will be heard this September. Justin Hogan-Doran SC, counsel for investors in all these cases, will discuss how a fast, pro-arbitration Court system can be leveraged to attract investors away from traditional enforcement jurisdictions, accelerating investors’ award recovery strategies and enhancing their access to the developing secondary market in international awards.
Justin’s presentation will be followed by a discussion of the issues it raises with a panel featuring leading practitioners Koh Swee Yen SC and Mark Mangan, moderated by Kate Apostolova.
