DUENSING KIPPEN’s client, a well-known international vacation club company, was recently hailed to civil court in Thailand by the client’s former construction contractor. DUENSING KIPPEN Associate Attorney, Tippaya Moonmanee, argued that the complex contractual arrangement between the client and contractor provided a cognizable arbitration agreement under the Arbitration Act of Thailand, the contractor must pursue its claim by way of the international arbitration mechanism provided in the contract, and that the suit must be dismissed. The court agreed and the suit was dismissed.
