In my view AVZ coming out with this now means that they're even more confident of our position after seeing Cominiere and DRC's statements of defence.Really wonder what the DRC's endgame is (if they even have a plan that far ahead - might be incapable of it). Everything they continue to keep doing only increases our leverage at the negotiation table, it's almost like they actually think they'll come out the end of this as a winner, maybe they are fully convinced from Chinese whispers that we will go bankrupt and they won't have to deal with us? It sounds like they have a committee to look at the potential risks of losing the entire case....
@Carlos Danger do you know if by them continually disregarding interim orders, will this further increase the final damages claim - or because they're mounting a defence for their decisions to ignore interim orders (even after being told a second time) does that mean they can get away with the stalling without any further repercussions?
Failure to comply with interim orders would certainly play into the final outcome of ICSID and ICC. They have already been reminded that there is no defence or negotiation when it comes to the orders made so far, they are what they are. I'm not sure what the tribunals would do in the case that they are continually ignored on interim orders prior to final orders though.
