Our Partner, Iliass Segame, contributed to the elaboration of the first Africa-wide Survey focusing on costs of resolving disputes, the financing of claims, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on litigation and arbitration costs and measures to drive cost-efficiency in African disputes.

Based on responses from 25 African jurisdictions the survey provides useful insights from sole practitioners, associates, partners of law firms, in-house counsel, academics, third-party funders, representatives of arbitral institutions and other users of litigation and arbitration in Africa.

It is hoped that the survey will contribute to promote the development of efficient disputes resolution system in Africa and that arbitral institutions and governments in Africa will find useful when establishing or revising the rules in relation to costs and disputes funding.

The Survey is available in four languages:

Given the current volatility that impacts prices and jeopardizes the performance of contracts, questions arise as to their economic balance and the terms of contractual review.

Is it possible for one of the parties, whether public or private, to request a revision of the contract or the price? Is the co-contracting party forced to accept? What about the legal means to protect yourself in the event of economic turbulence?
