Global Arbitration Review says Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice has rejected Russia’s bid to disqualify a U.S. academic from giving expert evidence on behalf of a former investor in Luxtona, an affiliate of Yukos Oil, finding that the fact he may have become the “go to guy” for parties suing the state did not prove that he lacked independence.

Bennett Jones is representing Luxtona in the proceedings.
