Fiona Trust: House of Lords uphold Court of Appeal | Practical Law
As we reported briefly last week in Legal update, Fiona Trust - Lords dismiss appeal, in the well known Fiona Trust case, the House of Lords has held that claims to rescind charterparties on the basis of bribery fell within the scope of a charterparty arbitration clause. Further, those allegations did not directly impeach the arbitration agreement (as opposed to the main charter) and therefore did not affect the parties' obligations to arbitrate their disputes.
