Fira,
I kind of agree, a lot of this will come down to the detail of the contract, the nuances of a contract can be huge.
That said the letter of intent wont help the client argument, I do however also think if they had to agree on arbitration why they did, looking at the options for the client it was a delayed court case(when sml could afford) or nothing as the alternatives. I think for them its a delay tactic and gives them a chance to see what an independent ruling would decide.
One minute they need loads of Magnetite, the next none, then possibly more than or equal to the original contract and then none again, WTF?? how can anyone run a business like that?
Im really confused by their actions
I don't think someone that could afford payments upfront and needing as much magnetite as they did, then intending on paying 4 mil upfront and coming back, if challenged couldn't pay a ruling figure, they might not wish to and continue to fight.
I think the ruling if it SML's favour will yield something at some point, but how much % against the ruling and when will be down to JP and his team.
