Breakingviews - Tariff refund spigot leaves Congress tapped out
President Trump pushed trade levies as a multi-trillion revenue raiser. As the Supreme Court weighs nixing them, he wants to send $450 bln he might not have to consumers, upping deficits and inflation. The idea is bad; further severing legislators from spending plans is worse.

In a nutshell, Hong Kong remains pro-arbitration; but never clause-blind. In my LexisNexis case commentary, I unpack the reasoning and outline the drafting and procedural implications for arbitration and corporate practitioners.

The #Fiona Trust presumption remains the starting point but consent to arbitrate still depends on what the parties truly agreed to cover. The Court’s analysis shows that the substance of the dispute, not the mere presence of an arbitration clause, defines arbitral scope.

This clause’s breadth could not override context. The judgment reinforces that Hong Kong’s proarbitration policy is principled, not automatic.

Court refused to stay proceedings under section20 #ArbitrationOrdinance despite a broadly worded clause (“arising out of or relating to”) in a shareholders agreement. The reason: the dispute did not arise from any rights or obligations under that agreement.
