CASE STUDY / APPLICATION TO THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Ince & Co applied to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on behalf of our clients, a global trading company, following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Georgia which effectively rendered unenforceable a London Arbitration Award for US$26 million against a partly state owned producer of ferroalloys.
It is alleged that the Supreme Court of Georgia breached our client’s right to a fair trial under Article 6, and deprived them of their property (Article 1). The ECHR moved the case to stage two and the Georgian State responded. The decision of the Court as to whether it requires a hearing or will proceed on the basis of the written submissions is awaited.
