💥 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 We’re excited to share that our partner, Dalibor Valincic, was part of the International Bar Association's task force that recently reviewed the status of the res judicata doctrine in international commercial arbitration and proposed to create an autonomous standard to improve consistency in this critical area.   The report highlights challenges in determining res judicata effects in subsequent arbitrations and notes the inadequacy of domestic rules for this context. By advocating for a tailored standard, the task force aims to enhance clarity and finality in arbitration awards.   This initiative reflects a growing convergence between civil and common law jurisdictions and could significantly strengthen the integrity of the arbitral process.

🆕 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘙𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘴 Take a look at the insightful article penned by Dragana Nikolic, Dalibor Valincic, and Dániel Dózsa, which explores the potential impact of U.S. sanctions on #NIS a.d., a #Serbia-based subsidiary of Gazprom Neft. As these #sanctions targeting Russian gas companies take effect on February 27, 2025, the potential for disruption poses serious risks to both NIS and the regional energy supply chain. With NIS being a key player in #Serbia's oil industry and a significant contributor to the national budget, the article discusses how this situation may unfold.

🆕 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 Following our previous article on the implications of the DIFC-LCIA ruling (see the link in the comments section), we delve deeper into a significant recent case involving Dynamic Industries, Inc. and Baker Hughes. The US Court of Appeal found that #arbitration could proceed under the #DIFCLCIA Rules, despite the #Dubai government's decree abolishing the DIFC Arbitration Institute. This latest ruling underscores the importance of precise drafting in arbitration agreements and explores the nuances of forum selection. 👇 Curious about how these developments impact #internationalarbitration and contract law?

🆕 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 Sudden and Major Change in #Hungary’s Renewable Energy Policy 🚨 In an unexpected move, on 31 January, the Hungarian Government abolished the inflation-adjustment of mandatory energy off-take prices (#KÁT) overnight, impacting around 3,100 MW of industrial solar capacity. The regulation, published at 10 PM and enforced by 11 PM the same night, means solar plant owners will face lower revenue growth potential, while industrial energy consumers may benefit from reduced electricity costs. The government justified such urgent amendment under the highly controversial state of emergency linked to the war in #Ukraine, a legal framework that has been in place since 2020 and is set to remain until at least May 2025. 💡The full effects of this sudden regulatory shift will unfold in the coming years, but uncertainty remains about whether solar producers opting for the free market will be subject to the Robin Hood tax, a windfall tax currently imposed on energy producers. ❓Key questions also persist: Will this decision stabilize energy prices and ease industrial costs, or will it slow down Hungary’s renewable energy transition and lead to legal challenges from foreign investors regarding the altered regulatory framework?

🆕 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 The Expanding Reach of EU Judicial Oversight: Is #CAS Arbitration Next? ⚽ “For good or bad, few passions are as widely and as profoundly shared around the globe as the passion for sport.” With these words, Advocate General (AG) Tamara Capeta of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) sets the stage for her Opinion in Case C-600/23, Royal Football Club RFC Seraing v. FIFA, UEFA et al. At the heart of the case lies a pivotal question: Can the CJEU challenge the long-standing autonomy of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)? The AG’s Opinion suggests yes. She concluded that EU national courts should not be bound by the res judicata effect of CAS awards when EU law is at stake. Treating CAS rulings as untouchable—especially in FIFA’s mandatory #arbitration system—could violate the fundamental right to effective judicial protection, which ensures access to courts capable of referring #EULaw questions to the #CJEU. � What’s at stake? ✔️ CAS under scrutiny – Should national courts have the power to review CAS awards when EU law is involved? ✔️ Finality vs. fairness – Does FIFA’s arbitration system restrict access to justice? ✔️ Legal implications – Could this set a precedent for broader EU oversight in private dispute resolution?
