Mock Partial Award in Chinese European Arbitration Centre (CEAC) Case No. 20120107 - Mediterraneo Exquisite Supply Co v. Equatoriana Clothing Manufacturing Ltd

Abstract

In 2012/2013, the Deakin University School of Law competed in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot for the twentieth year, and the Vis (East) Moot for the tenth. In recognition of this anniversary, and inspired by the publication of The Danubia Files, the Deakin Law School has authored this mock partial award addressing the 2012/2013 Vis Moot problem.

This mock partial award sets out the background of the parties' dispute, the procedural history of the case, the issues in dispute (along with the parties' positions and their requests for relief), and the decision of the tribunal. It then addresses the further steps to be taken in the proceedings, before closing with a summary of the decision and the tribunal's award.
