The English House of Lords has issued two landmark decisions within the past six months addressing the value-date for the quantification of damages. The most recent of these decisions, in Golden Strait Corporation v Nippon Yusen Kubishika Kaisha, involves commercial contract law and may be a recipe for delay in UK contract law arbitrations. The attached article addresses the impact and application of these recent decisions.
