IBA Rules on Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration

In 2010 the International Bar Association adopted the new IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration, which superseded the 1999 Rules. The revised Rules apply to all arbitrations in which the parties agree to apply the IBA Rules after 29 May 2010, whether as part of new arbitration agreements or in determining the rules of procedure in a pending or future arbitration.

Going for gold – Latest ruling from English Court of Appeal in tug of war over Venezuelan gold reserves

Deutsche Bank AG v Central Bank of Venezuela & Ors [2023] EWCA Civ 742 is the latest instalment in the UK battle between two rival boards of Venezuela’s Central bank (the Central Bank) for control of Venezuela’s gold reserves and for authority to represent the Central Bank in related arbitration in London. With Venezuela’s 2018 election resulting in political turmoil over who is its legitimate President, the UK Supreme Court ruled in 2021 that the English courts must ‘speak with one voice’ with the UK Government, regarding who it recognises. The disputes over the gold are still ongoing and have already produced a series of court judgments on preliminary issues and the effect of the UK Government’s changing recognition.
