The workshop on the questioning of expert witnesses will take place over the first three days in July at Beaumont House. Twenty-four participants will get the chance to cross-examine experts from FTI Consulting and Ernst & Young - and will receive feedback on live and video-recorded performances. The sessions will be run by experienced arbitration specialists, who will also give demonstrations and lectures. The FIAA was established in 2007 to provide training to lawyers from different jurisdictions in the art of advocacy tailored to arbitration. According to one of the founders, David Roney, The international journal of a partner at Schellenbergg Wittmeracomme rincial Geneva,and treaty arbitrati rtheon decision to bring the workshops outside Switzerland is part of an international strategy. “By taking our workshop to other major arbitration centres and developing markets, we aim to make them accessible to a broader audience by reducing travel costs. We chose Beaumont House in Windsor because it offers first-rate residential conference facilities and is within easy access of both central London and Heathrow.” The organisation plans to run its next workshop in São Paulo in the autumn of 2010. Based on those who have registered for the July event already, Roney expects half the participants will be from the UK and half from countries in Europe and North America. The course costs £985, which also covers accommodation and meals.

    PRESS RELEASE 12 April 2013

    PRESS RELEASE 12 April 2013 Highland and CYK score major victory against RBS and Linklaters in the Court of Appeal: in an historic development RBS has its £20 million judgment struck down for fraud Today the Court of Appeal handed down judgment: (1) Upholding Highland’s case that the liability and quantum judgments obtained against it by RBS in 2010 (for approx. £20 million) were obtained by or as a consequence of RBS’s fraud and should be set aside; and (2) Refusing RBS’s appeal against the Commercial Court’s refusal to grant an anti-suit injunction stopping Highland from suing RBS (and two of its employees) for fraud in the Courts in Texas, where the sum claimed is at least US$ 100 million. The judgment is the latest, and most significant, in a series of judgments criticising RBS’s dishonest and fraudulent conduct, both in the events giving rise to the litigation and, even more seriously, through the litigation itself, including the bank’s repeated attempts to deceive the English Court up to and including early 2012. It is believed that this is the first ever case in England where a major UK bank has had a judgment struck down due to it having been obtained by the bank’s fraud. It is understood that state-owned RBS has spent many millions, of what are effectively taxpayer funds, in legal fees in dishonestly pursuing, since mid-2009, the litigation in the English Courts against the funds managed by Highland Capital, based in Texas. The failed application for an anti-suit injunction is also believed to be one of the most expensive such applications in English legal history (in terms of the legal fees that RBS spent) and it potentially leaves the way open for Highland to pursue its fraud claims in Texas.
