The case for oxus16 Dec 2015 14:34
is far more complicated imho.
It covers nearly 10 years of practice by the uzbeks of anti oxus involvement.
It covers 2 different arbitration cases (they were merged into this one case).
It covers 10-15 different points, it covers multi metals and multiple states of development.
I'd imagine that the same amount of points have been raised by the uzbeks as well.
Each point needs to be gone through, looking at past case law, argued over, with 3 judges across the world, who spend most of their day jobs teaching, who have to communicate very formally, who all have different opinions, who have maybe 4 or 5 other cases on going. Each point could well have 100-300 pages of evidence from both sides backing things up.
A bloody nightmare tbh, let them take as long as they like.
