Scenario Analysis: Business Dispute Arbitration
Question
A is a Malaysian contractor in the oil and gas business. B is a large British oil exploration company. By a written Contract, B appointed A in January 2008 to maintain B’s offshore platform for a period of 3 years. The platform is just off the coast of Terengganu. The contract between A and B states that, "Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Rules for Arbitration of the Regional Centre for Arbitration Kuala Lumpur by three Arbitrators appointed in accordance with the rules. The place of Arbitration shall be Switzerland". By letter dated 31.12.2009, B terminates the contract with A, stating that the termination was due to unsatisfactory work performed by A and that B has incurred various costs rectifying A’s shoddy work. A issued a Notice of Arbitration in January 2010 pursuant to the arbitration agreement in the Contract and claims for loss of profits as a result of the termination of the Contract. B however, has filed a claim in Court against A for breach of Contract and for damages related to the costs it says it suffered as a result of the shoddy work. At the Preliminary meeting with the Tribunal, it was discovered that the Contract was in fact not signed by B although both parties performed their obligations under the terms stipulated under the written document (the Contract) from January 2009. On this ground, B challenges the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to hear and determine the dispute on grounds that there is in fact no Contract (and therefore any arbitration agreement) between A and B. Based on the aforesaid facts, discuss the following:
- Whether the Tribunal may determine if it has jurisdiction to hear and determine the disputes between the parties. if so, explain with reasons whether there is, in your view, an arbitration Agreement between A and B. what, in your view, is the seat of the arbitration in this dispute whether B may proceed with its action in Court.
- If so, explain with reasons whether there is, in your view, an arbitration Agreement between A and B.
- what, in your view, is the seat of the arbitration in this dispute
- Whether B may proceed with its action in Court.
Summary

According to their agreement, any dispute arising out of the contract had been arbitrated to the Regional Centre for Arbitration Kuala Lumpur. The details for this scenario have been given in the solution in detail.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I had missed the classes on Isometrics because I had to miss school for some family emergencies. With the existing course load I had not got time to catch up with the topic and so when time came to write the assignment on Isometrics I was absolutely clueless. Thanks to the basic mathematics assignment experts at HwA I was able to not only understand the assignment but also submit the essay on time. The quality of work provided is also very high and I have been noticing an upturn in my overall grades.

Most other online HRM tutoring services I have used were basically one way communication with the tutor simply providing with the cut and dried answers to the questions without really going to the heart of the questions. The online HRM tutor at HwA were different in the sense that they were more focused on helping me actually understand the subject and guiding me to write the HRM assignment and HRM homework rather than providing readymade solutions. Each HRM Online Tutoring session was a two way communication that helped me get even the minutest doubts cleared and understand the underlying concepts of the theories better.

Their services are absolutely spot on. The online corporate finance assignment helpers pay attention to the littlest suggestion that you have mentioned and structure the assignment writing accordingly. I am very impressed with the time and effort they put into each and every corporate finance assignment help.

Being a research scholar in Australia demands that you submit your research proposals and dissertations in a particular format and follow a typical form of expression chalked out by your dissertation advisors. The online dissertation writing help experts at TheReliableTutor based out of Australia understand this specific need and write the research proposals and subsequent dissertation to meet those exact specifications. There is no disconnect between your requirements and the finished dissertation submitted.
