On Nov. 27, the Supreme People’s Court and the Hong Kong Government signed the Supplemental Arrangement Concerning the Mutual Enforcement of Arbitral Awards between the Mainland and Hong Kong SAR to clarify some issues and enhance the enforcement process. We speak to lawyers on both sides on what the potential for this is.

We speak to energy lawyers about what is driving this.
