Case by Case Ep #88 is out! In this week's episode, Luke Zadkovich and Calum Cheyne had the privilege of being joined by Oliver Caplin KC of Twenty Essex to discuss the fascinating case of Euronav Shipping NV v Black Swan Petroleum DMCC. Having acted for the successful respondent, Black Swan Petroleum (BSP), Oliver Caplin KC brings a first-hand perspective to this week’s discussion! The case itself involved a rare form of anti-suit injunction – an anti-anti-arbitration injunction’ (AAAI), which was designed to require BSP to discharge an anti-arbitration injunction that it had obtained from the High Court of Malaysia, which restrained Euronav’s prosecution of a London-seated LMAA arbitration. An episode not to be missed - particularly for those involved in cross-border disputes. 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐰: Click below on your chosen platform to listen to episode #88 now!

Updated Earlier today, President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea declared martial law. Less than two hours later, South Korea's parliament voted it down and ruled the declaration invalid. Soon thereafter, #SouthKorea's President backed away and announced he would lift martial law. With political instability such as this, there can be wide reaching impacts throughout South Korea's #maritime industry and infrastructure, and could lead to port congestion, increased customs delays and potential prohibitions on the entry or exit of certain vessels and goods to and from South Korean ports, as well as disruption at South Korean shipyards.   #VesselBuyers, #Owners and #Charterers should carefully review the provisions of their South Korean shipbuilding contracts, MOAs and charterparties, as sovereign action is often included in force majeure, laytime/demurrage exclusion and permissible delay clauses. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡: If you have any concerns about current or prospective maritime contracts with a South Korean nexus in light of this development, please reach out to our team who will be able to advise you on the relevant risks and mitigation strategies. Please reach out to Rufus Constable or your usual Floyd Zadkovich contact. #SouthKorea #MartialLaw #Korea
