MULTI SCREEN MEDIA (SINGAPORE) PTE LTD [MSMS] DEAL VALUE: Over USD 1.7 BILLION
IPL (Indian Premier League) broadcasters Sony filed a suit in the Bombay High Court seeking a declaration to rescind all contractual obligations under the facilitation deed and recovery of payment of Rs. 125 crores plus interest, which World Sports Group (WSG), Mauritius had received as a facilitation fee for grant of media rights from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The Single Judge’s refusal to stay the Singapore arbitration led to an appeal before the Division Bench which granted an anti-arbitration injunction for the first time in India. This was a landmark judgment which held the field till the same was modified by the Supreme Court only in 2014. It was one of the rarest of the rare cases where an International Commercial Arbitration between two foreign companies under ICC Rules with English law being the substantive law of contract, was stayed by an Indian Court. The said case is a case study for lawyers and law students across the globe.

Anirban’s client ultimately won the arbitration.
