This session will provide an update of key points for all market participants and practitioners potentially involved in disputes where assets located offshore need to be recovered. Leading practitioners from Appleby law firm and Kroll investigations services firm will give perspectives of both lawyers and insolvency practitioners on the key points to note.
The topics will be targeted at the latest developments in terms of both judgments and practice. The session will include insights from the Appleby team that acted on the recent Sian Participation case where the U.K.'s Privy Council considered the interaction between insolvency proceedings and arbitration where a winding up petition is founded on a debt which is subject to an arbitration agreement. That case declared the previous leading English authority, Salford Estates, wrongly decided and has important consequences for many offshore jurisdictions.
