We are thrilled to announce a victory for the Republic of Tunisia in an ICSID #arbitration, successfully defeating claims amounting to billions of dollars. 
 
On Friday, December 22, 2023, an arbitral tribunal issued an award dismissing ABCI Investments’ claims against our client, the Republic of Tunisia, for over USD 12 billion. Instead, the Tribunal ordered compensation in the purely nominal amount of around USD 300,000 (namely 0.003% of the amounts claimed). The dispute arose from the privatization of the Banque Franco-Tunisienne in the 1980s and ABCI’s participation in the bank.  
 
Congratulations to this stellar co-counsel team: Isabelle Michou, Obioma Ofoego and Ivan-Axel Doubrava from Quinn Emanuel; and Amal B. and Lynn Moubarak from Herbert Smith Freehills.

The case is: ABCI Investments Limited v. Republic of Tunisia, ICSID Case No. ARB/04/12

Regulatory action and high-profile court battles may grab the spotlight but climate change is already triggering a wide array of hidden contract disputes for business… with more to come.
