Confirmatinlon from ceo2 Apr 2024 14:05
There has been some discussion that we cannot move to next stage until we have waited 6 months.
I have checked with ceo and this does not apply. Per the email below. So the decision on when to move to the next stage seems to be in our hands!!
Hi Mark,
The provision cited in your email below is Article 13(2) of the Australia-India BIT, which is a requirement that applies when there’s a dispute between the contracting parties, i.e. between Australia and India
This dispute is between an investor (Indo Gold) and a contracting party (India), which means Article 12 applies. Under Article 12, there is no codified minimum period.
Thanks
Mark
