HOW WATERTIGHT IS YOUR COALCONTRACT?

Dealing with the bankrupt counterparty

Workshop Instructors:

Peter Bennett, Paul Aston, Partner, Partner, Holman Fenwick Willan Holman Fenwick Willan

The coal and freight market might be unprecedented but it brings

with it typical problems; non-delivery, general non-performance, force

majeure, frustration, hardship clauses, failure to nominate and

disputes over fixtures – all typical where one party prefers to risk a

breach of contract in order to perform another, more profitable

contract.

This workshop will look at the typical problems, the issues and

practical analysis and solutions.

It will also look at dealing with the bankrupt counterparty. The current

market does not benefit everyone and this session will be looking at

the impact of an insolvent party in various types of contracts

including, contracts of sale, charterparties, swaps, futures and

derivative contracts.
