This is the latest in our series of discussions about how clients have used HSF Kramer's Decision Analysis models as part of their strategy for disputes management.
This week, International Arbitration Partner Chris Parker discusses how it was used to support a settlement negotiation with an opposing party:
We were acting for a European client in a high-value arbitration dispute relating to termination of a contract relating to a key Asian market. In order to succeed, our opponent had to show that: (i) our client had breached the relevant contractual provisions; (ii) the breach was material; and (iii) the proper contractual termination procedures had been properly followed. If they failed on any of these limbs, our client would be entitled to damages for wrongful termination.
