Vodafone ha ganado un arbitraje de miles de millones de dólares (algunas fuentes lo cifran en cerca de 3.000 millones de dólares) a India ante un tribunal de la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje que ha declarado al país responsable de reclamaciones derivadas de un impuesto retroactivo a las transacciones.
Vodafone Group Plc’s big win against the Indian government could set a precedent for similar arbitration cases, including the one initiated by Cairn Energy Plc.
Vodafone won an international arbitration case against the Indian government, ending one of the most high-profile disputes in the country involving a $2 billion tax claim.
The tribunal held that the Mexican authorities had not violated international commercial law or breached their commitments under treaties to which they were a party.
Vodafone’s dispute relates to its $11 billion acquisition of a 67% stake in the mobile-phone business owned by Hutchison Whampoa. Cairn Energy is contesting a big tax bill that Indian government raised for a 2006 transaction.
Le tribunal arbitral a rejeté l’ensemble des demandes de la société Consutel, dont un montant s’élevant à 408,880 millions de dollars US, en guise réparations requises pour cause de présumés dommages subis.
