Document Summary
Claimant's Press Release on Party Submissions
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

This document is a public update issued by the Claimant on 16 September 2024, detailing recent procedural developments in the ongoing International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration against the Respondent, Cameroon.

The Claimant reports that the Respondent failed to submit its Rejoinder by the scheduled procedural deadline of 9 September 2024. According to the Claimant, which cites local media reports, this procedural default is attributable to the Respondent's failure to remunerate its external legal counsel and independent experts, resulting in a cessation of their work on the matter.

Despite the Respondent's failure to file its scheduled submission, the Claimant maintains its strict position that the evidentiary hearing, currently scheduled to take place in Paris from 27 to 31 January 2025, must proceed as originally calendared. Furthermore, the Claimant clarifies that a separate conditional settlement reached with Congo on 1 July 2024 has no legal or procedural bearing on the present ICC proceedings against Cameroon.
