Poonam Melwani QC has been invited to take part in GAR Connect India. She will be acting as a judge in the GAR Connect Debate:

In Oxford Union style, GAR Connect will hear teams of debaters argue in favour of, or against, a motion. A panel of judges will then voice opinions on what has been heard, before choosing which side to support and giving reasons for their decisions.

“This house believes that there is due process paranoia in international arbitration.”
