Pakistan has retained GST LLP in its application to annul an ICSID award ordering it to pay $800 million - one of the highest damages sums in the center’s history - for detaining power generation vessels used during a power crisis in Karachi. GST LLP’s Ignacio Torterola reports that the award, in favor of a Turkish company who leased the vessels “is as flawed as it gets,” failing to offer reasons for the damages which include ordering payment of interest relating to a matter occurring two years later.
