PCA HOST COUNTRY AGREEMENT WITH THE REPUBLIC OF PARAGUAY ENTERS INTO FORCE On 12 June 2024, during the inaugural session of the Congress of the Members of the Court held on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (the "PCA"), the Republic of Paraguay notified the PCA of the completion, on 29 May 2024, of all internal legal and administrative procedures necessary for the entry into force of the Host Country Agreement signed between the Republic of Paraguay and the PCA on 15 October 2019. Pursuant to the provisions of its Article 16(1), the Agreement has therefore entered into force on 29 May 2024. The Agreement will facilitate the conduct of PCA proceedings in the Republic of Paraguay: under the terms of the Host Country Agreement, the Republic of Paraguay will provide facilities and services required for PCA-administered proceedings such as office and meeting space and secretarial services, which may be offered at no cost to the disputing parties. The Agreement also grants privileges and immunities to arbitrators and participants in PCA-administered cases, such as certain fiscal exemptions and immunity, under certain conditions, from legal process in respect of words spoken or written. Since the 1990s, the PCA has adopted a policy of concluding Host Country Agreements with its Contracting Parties with the goal of making its dispute resolution services more widely accessible throughout the world, not just at its headquarters at the Peace Palace in The Hague. Through such agreements, the host country and the PCA establish a legal framework within which PCA-administered proceedings (including arbitration, conciliation, mediation, and fact-finding commissions of inquiry) can be conducted in the territory of the host country on an ad hoc basis under conditions similar to those guaranteed by the PCA's Headquarters Agreement with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Other countries with which the PCA has concluded Host Country Agreements include Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Chile, China (in respect of Hong Kong SAR), Costa Rica, Djibouti, Ecuador, India, Ireland, Malaysia, Mauritius, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Uruguay, and Viet Nam. Pictured (from l. to r.): Dr. José Antonio Moreno Rodríguez, Member of the Court from the Republic of Paraguay, and Dr. hab. Marcin Czepelak. Secretary-General of the PCA.

#LaborLaw: Brazilian Labor Court Approves Extrajudicial Settlement Homologation Without Legal Action   The National Justice Council has approved new guidelines allowing Labor Courts to homologate extrajudicial agreements between employers and employees without the need for filing lawsuits. From now on, a homologated agreement will have final settlement effect, preventing future claims regarding its terms. This measure aims to reduce labor litigation, which has been a barrier to job creation and formalizing employment relationships.   Agreements can result from direct negotiations or pre-litigation mediation, and their validity will depend on the judge’s verification of legality and reasonableness. The new rule will initially be valid for six months for agreements exceeding 40 minimum wages, with the expectation of assessing its impact before potential expansion. It is crucial that workers are assisted by a lawyer or union, especially in cases involving minors or incapacitated individuals.   With this resolution, it is expected that parties can safely formalize consensuses, avoiding an increase in litigation and promoting a more stable and productive work environment. The proposal, developed after extensive dialogue with various sectors, seeks to create an effective path for resolving labor disputes and strengthening legal certainty for both workers and employers.

For your Sunday morning #digitalcoffeebreakinarbitration we recommend the article "IP Arbitration in Chile: Aramco’s Success in an Internet Domain Name Dispute" by Mateo Verdías Mezzera and Matias Gonzalez from Cuatrecasas. The authors explains that in a recent arbitration decision in Santiago de Chile, the sole arbitrator ruled in favor of Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) in a domain property dispute against Mr. Joaquín Poblete. The dispute arose after Mr. Poblete registered the domain "aramco.cl" shortly after Aramco's arrival in Chile. The arbitrator granted the revocation of the domain registration, citing that it would misleadingly identify Aramco, given its extensive trademark use worldwide. Aramco demonstrated a "preferential interest" over the domain, while the respondent did not appear in the proceeding. This case emphasizes the need for businesses to monitor domain registrations closely to protect their trademarks and underscores the application of principles of fairness in NIC-Chile domain disputes.
