Please, before you say it’s unreal, check the thread of csssius mining on hotcopper, and you’ll see by the share price, how market calculates the chances of any meaningful award, after the tribunal decided it’s gonna have a seat locally - not in the western hemisphere.
Let’s assume:
we get right award with right number in 4 years. Let’s hope for that.
Our tribunal arbiters already decided the seat is in India.
Then, indias government files the annulment application, stating just plain whatever (it’s not important, since it’s local court and everything is already set up and judge is of Indian nationality)
Then it is reviewed by the local court in India
They might, assuming corruption and national favoring, decide „sure, we see that govt has a point, and we decided that award from the tribunal is… annulled”.
Then PAT’s claim is finished….
Rightfully so, for if I might be blunt here - corruption and impartiality (even nation-wise)in locally based (not western) court eats any chance of enforcement of the award.
Unfortunately.
And this is what I’m afraid of.
