English court declares Arbitral Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear dispute (Barclays Bank plc v VEB)

Arbitration analysis: In the first of two separate judgments, the London Circuit Commercial Court (LCCC) found that it was able to determine whether an arbitral tribunal had jurisdiction to hear a dispute under an arbitration agreement, under section 32(2) of the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996). In the second judgment, the court granted a declaration sought by Barclays Bank plc (Barclays) that an arbitral tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear a claim brought by VEB.RF (VEB) under a currency swap agreement. This declaration was made in circumstances where Barclays had validly served a notice on VEB pursuant to the terms of an arbitration agreement, requiring VEB's claim to be heard by the English courts.

Timing is everything—Commercial Court takes strict approach to construing contractual time limits (Eronat v CNPC International and another)

Arbitration analysis: In Eronat v CNPC International and another, the parties had agreed to a bespoke contractual provision entitling parties to appeal an award within 30 days from the date at which the arbitral decision was ‘rendered’. This was in contrast to the default position under the LCIA Rules where there is no right to appeal. In construing the word ‘rendered’ very strictly and dismissing an appeal under section 69 of the Arbitration Act, the court found that time started running the date that the award was made, rather than the date the award was notified to the parties. The judgment serves as an important reminder for parties to act promptly when faced with contractual time limits, particularly when they relate to the challenge of arbitral awards. Written by Kirtan Prasad, of counsel, and Jessica Davies, associate, at RPC.
