Event Outline

Crescendo Maritime v Bank of Communications [2016] 1 Lloyd’s Rep. 414 is the latest decision to address the problem of direct and collateral attacks on arbitration agreements and awards. The case concerned an arbitration claim by a buyer on a refund guarantee. Having lost the arbitration, the refund guarantor commenced proceedings against the buyer and a third party. The question was whether it amounted to a 'collateral attack'. If so, what remedies should be granted to both parties.
