OVERVIEW
Quadrant Chambers together with HFW hosted a mock arbitration at the Swissôtel Métropole, 34 Quai General Guisan, Geneva.
This year's moot topic followed a trade finance theme. The mock arbitration (presented by barristers from Quadrant Chambers) involved a claim and defence raising the following issues:
- Letters of Credit: Compliance with the requirements of the contract of sale.
- Force majeure.
- Damages.
Each of these issues was argued for Claimant and Respondent with an oral award at the end given by an experienced tribunal.
