Overview

The Strait of Hormuz sits at the intersection of global energy flows and geopolitical risk — and when disruption strikes, the contractual fallout lands before arbitral tribunals tasked with applying vastly different legal frameworks to the same commercial reality. This panel explores how tribunals reason through changed-circumstances claims when common law and civil law traditions offer competing answers, using Hormuz-related disruption scenarios as the unifying factual thread.
