For some time Comminere have attached some weight to a supposed breach by AVZ around finance reporting obligations.Hope you’re right Chilla. The bit where I see AVZ being exposed (if they are exposed at all), is around financing and correct reporting thereof. If AVZ have that in the bag then we’re home and hosed, if there’s some sort of gap then ….
Or could it be they do so in order to legitimately excuse their own obligations under the JV? Dunno, haven't seen the contract for ages to check.
Whatever, the ICC will determine whether it's a material breach or minor breach, if a breach occurred at all. And only a material breach can void a JV contract., as being claimed by Comminere.
They better be able to demonstrate how the breach is significant enough that the parties can no longer fulfil the purpose of the contract. Otherwise their claim will be thrown out of court.
Think we're on fairly safe ground IMO.
