 April 2009
Most systems of law fix, by legislation, a period of time after which claims arising from an event may no longer be pursued by litigation.
This is generally referred to as the limitation period or prescription period.
Where no proceedings have been commenced in respect of a claim within the appropriate limitation period, the claim is said to be "time-barred".

London Loses Anti-Suit Powers |
|
This February saw the European Court of Justice ("ECJ") hand down its nervously anticipated decision in the case of Allianz S.p.A. v West Tankers Inc, which largely follows the Advocate General's opinion on this case delivered last September.
Background
In August 2000, the Front Comor caused damage to a jetty in Syracuse (Italy) when it collided with it. The owners of the jetty, Erg Petroli S.p.A. ("Erg") claimed compensation from its insurers, Allianz and Generali, and commenced arbitration proceedings in London against West Tankers Inc. ("West Tankers") (the vessel owners) for the excess, in accordance with an arbitration clause in the charterparty.

Approved Persons - Do you understand your obligations? |
|
As part of its aim to achieve 'credible deterrence' the FSA has recognised that action against individuals has a much greater impact in terms of deterrence than action against firms and has therefore made a strategic decision to investigate more individuals.
The evidence speaks for itself, already in 2009 there have been 6 enforcement actions in which individuals have been found culpable.
The aim of this briefing is to highlight the key obligations for individuals who become approved persons and highlight the risk of enforcement where such individuals do not fulfil their regulatory responsibilities.
