Article summary

Arbitration analysis: The Commercial Court was asked to consider the application of s 12 of the State Immunity Act 1978 concerning service of an English arbitration claim form on a foreign state. The court found that s 12 had not been waived by the filing of an acknowledgment of service and that acceptance of service for the purposes of the arbitration did not constitute acceptance for the purposes of the litigation.
