The call follows the publication of
the Independent Recall.
The review made a number of
recommendations to help improve
the way in which unsafe consumer
products are identified and removed
from the market. However, it is clear
that there is still a lot to be done.
Fire! Fire!
The appliances have been linked to
thousands of fires caused by fluff
coming into contact with heating
elements. Homes have been ruined
and, in some cases, the machines
have burst into flames as people
loaded them with clothes. Other
appliances causing fires include
dishwashers, fridges and freezers
and washing machines.
The LGA has highlighted some
alarming case studies, including:
• A family in Morecambe whose
tumble dryer burst into flames
while they were asleep
• Two people needing treatment
following a house fire in Preston
• A mother with two children who
had to flee her Nottingham flat
after her tumble dryer burst into
flames as she was loading it
• A mother and two young
daughters from Essex who were
left homeless after their tumble
dryer caught fire. They were
woken from their sleep by their
smoke alarm
• The death of two men who died in
a flat fire in Llanrwst in October
2014. A Pre-Inquest Hearing into
their deaths was told that the fire
started in a tumble dryer
• The death of a father who died
whilst saving his two children
from a house fire. The fire started
when a Beko fridge freezer caught
fire in his home
Safety first
The LGA has noted that many
manufacturers are running
repair programmes with lengthy
waiting lists, rather than recalling
potentially hazardous machines,
and is calling on them to recall the
affected tumble dryers.
The LGA has also called for all white
goods to include fire-proof markings
which would list the manufacturer,
model and serial number, allowing
fire investigators to identify which
models are causing fires.
Whilst there are currently no
further measures a manufacturer
should be taking, over and above
existing compliance, businesses
should take note that there is
clearly an increasing focus on the
importance of prompt product
recall with proper communication
to consumers. It remains to be
seen whether more stringent legal
measures will be introduced.

The widespread adoption of arbitration clauses in
international commercial contracts reflects the advantages
offered by international arbitration.
Arbitration provides a contract-based alternative to resolving
commercial disputes in local courts.
Arbitration clauses in commercial contracts can be tailored to meet
the parties’ particular requirements. The parties can opt for:
– Institutional arbitration – under the supervision of one of the
major arbitral institutions, each of which has its own set of rules
– Ad hoc arbitration – where the proceedings are not supervised
by an institution and the parties decide the rules that govern
the arbitration
While the enforcement of foreign court judgments in many states can
be challenging, costly and time consuming, the New York Convention
provides an efficient mechanism for enforcing arbitration awards in
foreign jurisdictions.

ENFORCEMENT OF
ARBITRAL AWARDS
When considering an investment in an African state,
it is important to be aware that the rules governing
the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitration
awards vary between the 54 African states. Enforcing
foreign arbitration awards will be easier in some
African jurisdictions than in others.
Where the parties are aware of the challenges they face at the
drafting stage, there are a number of strategies that can be adopted
in order to protect the parties’ interests. In order to do so, it is
vital to be aware of the rules that govern the recognition and
enforcement of foreign awards in a particular African jurisdiction.
The 54 African states can be broadly separated into 3 categories:
1. New York Convention member states
2. L’Organisation pour l’Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires
(“OHADA”) member states
3. Those which are neither New York Convention nor OHADA
member states
out of the 54 states in Africa have ratified and acceded to
the New York Convention. The courts of these 54 states
are required, subject to a number of limited exceptions,
to recognise and enforce arbitral awards made in other
contracting states.
out of the 20 African states which have not ratified and
acceded to the New York Convention are members of OHADA.
Arbitral awards made in non-OHADA member states can be
enforced in these 5 states under the OHADA Uniform Act on
Arbitration 1999.
out of 54 African states are neither signatories of the New
York Convention, nor OHADA member states. A party
seeking to enforce a foreign arbitral award in one of these
states, such as Libya (where the enforcement of foreign
awards is governed by the Libyan Civil Code), must rely
on the provisions on the recognition and enforcement of
arbitration awards in the relevant national law, which will
ordinarily be more onerous than in New York Convention or
OHADA member states.

Protections against a number of the risks facing investors in
some African states could be available to foreign investors.
Where disputes arise in both contractual and non-contractual
relationships, investors may be entitled to protection under:
– Bilateral investment treaties (BITs), such as the China – Nigeria BIT
– Multilateral investment treaties (MITs) such as the South African
Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Finance and
Investment
– State contracts
BITs and MITs are international instruments concluded between
states which provide substantive and procedural protections for
investments made by foreign investors.
According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD), in addition to MITs, African states have
entered into 474 BITs. Of these, 155 were concluded between African
states, of which there are currently 31 in force.
While the substantive protections available vary from treaty to
treaty, BITs and MITs ordinarily provide for:
– Protection against expropriation without compensation
– Fair and equitable treatment
– Full protection and security of investments
– Free transfer of funds
– Dispute resolution by international arbitration

An increase in the amount of foregn investment will often be
accompanied by an increase in the number of disputes.
When considering an investment in a developing African country,
foreign investors should be particularly aware of the numerous risks
(eg legal, social, political and economic), that may arise throughout
the course of investment.

Arbitration is an increasingly popular mechanism for the
resolution of disputes and in recent years the world’s major
arbitral institutions have registered hundreds of disputes
involving African parties.
WHAT IS ARBITRATION AND HOW CAN IT HELP?
When structuring an investment in an African country, investors
should consider the protections that are available against the
particular risks that they face. Providing for the resolution of disputes
by arbitration can allow investors to protect against certain risks
which are present in a number of African jurisdictions.
Key features and benefits of arbitration:
– Neutral venue: the parties can resolve their dispute in a neutral
forum which is not affected by the perceived bias of the parties’
respective home-state courts
– Enforceability of arbitral awards: there are a number of binding
international instruments which facilitate the recognition and
enforcement of arbitral awards, the most important of which is
the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign
Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”)
– Competence and expertise: the parties can choose arbitrators
based on their knowledge and experience of specific sectors,
industries, and types of transaction
– Flexibility: the parties can tailor all aspects of the procedure to suit
their requirements including issues such as disclosure and the
number of submissions
– Confidentiality: the arbitral process is usually private and
confidential

BARLOW LYDE & GILBERT LLP | INTRODUÇÃO AO RESSEGURO 98 BARLOW LYDE & GILBERT LLP | AN INTRODUCTION TO REINSURANCE
A reinsured may instruct a broker to act as its agent for the
purposes of negotiating and placing the reinsurance contract
with reinsurers. After the contract has been placed, the
reinsurance broker may act as an intermediary between the
principals for the purposes of transmitting the reinsurance
premiums from the reinsured to the reinsurer, passing on
information and collecting reinsurance claims from the
reinsurers.
The�broker
O�broker
Um ressegurado pode instruir um broker (corretor de
resseguro) para atuar como seu agente na negociação e
colocação do contrato de resseguro com os resseguradores.
Depois que o contrato foi colocado, o corretor de resseguros
pode atuar como um intermediário entre as partes para
efeitos de transmissão dos prêmios de resseguro do
ressegurado para o ressegurador, transmitindo informação e
coletando indenizações de resseguro dos resseguradores.
“A reinsured may instruct a broker to

“Um ressegurado pode instruir um
broker (corretor de resseguro) para
atuar como seu agente na negociação

É freqüente mais de um ressegurador participar no
resseguro de um risco específico, com cada ressegurador
aceitando uma parte da exposição. Isso é conhecido como
Mercado de Subscrição: cada ressegurador é responsável
apenas por sua parte do risco, e não pela parte do risco
assumido por outros resseguradores.
O ressegurador está apenas interessado em sinistros diretos
na medida em que afetem a sua responsabilidade perante o
ressegurado nos termos do contrato de resseguro. A relação
de resseguro é ocasionada pelo contrato de resseguro e é
mutualmente exclusiva da relação entre o segurador e o
segurado original. O segurado original não tem interesse
jurídico na relação de resseguro. As responsabilidades e
obrigações entre ressegurador e ressegurado são novas
responsabilidades e obrigações, criadas e reguladas pelo
contrato de resseguro. Elas não são, apesar do que alguma
da terminologia usada no resseguro possa sugerir, uma
simples partilha de uma obrigação existente, embora haja
casos em que alguns elementos do contrato subjacente
possam ser incorporados no contrato de resseguro.
A reinsurer is only interested in the direct losses to the extent
that they affect its liability to its reinsured under the contract of
reinsurance. The reinsurance relationship is brought about by
the reinsurance contract and is mutually exclusive from the
relationship between the insurer and the original insured. The
original insured has no legal interest in the reinsurance
relationship. The liabilities and obligations of the reinsurer and
reinsured are new ones which are created and governed by
the reinsurance contract. They are not, despite what some
reinsurance terminology might suggest, a simple “share” of an
existing obligation; although there are circumstances where
some elements of the underlying contract may be
incorporated into the reinsurance contract.

BARLOW LYDE & GILBERT LLP | INTRODUÇÃO AO RESSEGURO 76 BARLOW LYDE & GILBERT LLP | AN INTRODUCTION TO REINSURANCE
Reinsurance is the insurance of insurance risk. In the same
way as individuals and companies need insurance to protect
themselves against the risks they face, so insurers need
reinsurance. When an insurer buys reinsurance it is buying
protection against the costs of the claims it may have to meet
under the policies of insurance it has issued. Reinsurance may
be purchased in respect of a single large risk, in connection
with a book of risks or even in respect of the whole account of
a company. We have discussed the different types of
reinsurance more fully below.
The original or direct insurer who purchases the reinsurance
cover is known as “the reinsured” or the “the reassured” (this
latter expression is more common in marine, aviation and life
business). The reinsured may also be described as the
“cedant” or “ceding company”. Where a reinsurer buys
reinsurance for the risks it is itself reinsuring this “reinsurance”
is known as a “retrocession”. The reinsured in these
circumstances will be called the “retrocedant” and the
reinsurer will be called the “retrocessionaire”.
It is not unusual for more than one reinsurer to participate in
the reinsurance of a particular risk with each reinsurer
accepting a proportion of the exposure. This is known as a
Subscription Market; each reinsurer is liable for its share only
and not for the share of the risk accepted by other reinsurers.
What�is�reinsurance?
O�que�é�o�resseguro?
O resseguro é o seguro do risco de seguro. Da mesma forma
como os indivíduos e as empresas precisam de seguros para
se protegerem contra os riscos que enfrentam, também uma
seguradora necessita de resseguro. Quando uma seguradora
compra um resseguro, ela está comprando proteção contra os
custos dos sinistros que pode ter que enfrentar no âmbito das
apólices de seguro que emitiu. O resseguro pode ser
adquirido em função de um único grande risco, de uma
carteira de riscos ou mesmo em relação a todo o portfolio de
seguros de uma seguradora. Discutiremos os diferentes tipos
de resseguro de forma mais completa abaixo.
A seguradora original ou direta que adquire a cobertura de
resseguro é conhecida como "ressegurado" ou
"reassegurado" (esta segunda expressão é mais comum nos
setores de riscos aeronáuticos, marítimo e vida). O
ressegurado pode também ser descrito como o "cedente" ou
“seguradora cedente". Sempre que um ressegurador compra
resseguro para os riscos que ele próprio está ressegurando
este “resseguro" é conhecido como “retrocessão". O
ressegurado, nestas circunstâncias, será chamado de
“retrocedente" e o ressegurador será chamado de
“retrocessionário”.
Introduction
The purpose of this booklet is to provide readers with an introductory guide to reinsurance. The
booklet contains a practical explanation of the principal types of reinsurance including facultative
covers, treaty reinsurance, excess of loss and proportional cover.
The booklet also addresses topics including the function of slips and the formation of the
reinsurance contract, the duty of utmost good faith, policy wordings and conditions, triggers of
coverage, aggregation and common claims provisions. At the end of the booklet there is a
glossary of frequently occurring terms.
Much of what is discussed in the booklet, such as the meaning of facultative reinsurance, is of
universal application, but where specific legal issues are raised, our comments are from the
perspective of English Law.

desencadeadores de cobertura, agregação e regras de pagamento de indenizações. No final da
brochura há um glossário da terminologia mais freqüente.
Muito do que é discutido na brochura, como o significado do resseguro facultativo, é de
aplicação universal, mas onde questões jurídicas mais específicas são levantadas, os nossos
comentários são feitos na perspectiva do Direito Inglês.

The review made a number of recommendations to help improve the way in which unsafe consumer products are identified and removed from the market. However, it is clear that there is still a lot to be done. Fire! Fire! The appliances have been linked to thousands of fires caused by fluff coming into contact with heating elements. Homes have been ruined and, in some cases, the machines have burst into flames as people loaded them with clothes. Other appliances causing fires include dishwashers, fridges and freezers and washing machines. The LGA has highlighted some alarming case studies, including: • A family in Morecambe whose tumble dryer burst into flames while they were asleep • Two people needing treatment following a house fire in Preston • A mother with two children who had to flee her Nottingham flat after her tumble dryer burst into flames as she was loading it • A mother and two young daughters from Essex who were left homeless after their tumble dryer caught fire. They were woken from their sleep by their smoke alarm • The death of two men who died in a flat fire in Llanrwst in October 2014. A Pre-Inquest Hearing into their deaths was told that the fire started in a tumble dryer • The death of a father who died whilst saving his two children from a house fire. The fire started when a Beko fridge freezer caught fire in his home Safety first The LGA has noted that many manufacturers are running repair programmes with lengthy waiting lists, rather than recalling potentially hazardous machines, and is calling on them to recall the affected tumble dryers. The LGA has also called for all white goods to include fire-proof markings which would list the manufacturer, model and serial number, allowing fire investigators to identify which models are causing fires. Whilst there are currently no further measures a manufacturer should be taking, over and above existing compliance, businesses should take note that there is clearly an increasing focus on the importance of prompt product recall with proper communication to consumers. It remains to be seen whether more stringent legal measures will be introduced.

Shelley Hutchin Design International Arbitration - emerging markets A6 pocket-size brochure for Africa conference 2016 - Soft touch matt laminate finish, perfect bound 3 The widespread adoption of arbitration clauses in international commercial contracts reflects the advantages offered by international arbitration. Arbitration provides a contract-based alternative to resolving commercial disputes in local courts. Arbitration clauses in commercial contracts can be tailored to meet the parties’ particular requirements. The parties can opt for: – Institutional arbitration – under the supervision of one of the major arbitral institutions, each of which has its own set of rules – Ad hoc arbitration – where the proceedings are not supervised by an institution and the parties decide the rules that govern the arbitration While the enforcement of foreign court judgments in many states can be challenging, costly and time consuming, the New York Convention provides an efficient mechanism for enforcing arbitration awards in foreign jurisdictions.

Enforcing foreign arbitration awards will be easier in some African jurisdictions than in others. Where the parties are aware of the challenges they face at the drafting stage, there are a number of strategies that can be adopted in order to protect the parties’ interests. In order to do so, it is vital to be aware of the rules that govern the recognition and enforcement of foreign awards in a particular African jurisdiction. The 54 African states can be broadly separated into 3 categories: 1. New York Convention member states 2. L’Organisation pour l’Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires (“OHADA”) member states 3. Those which are neither New York Convention nor OHADA member states out of the 54 states in Africa have ratified and acceded to the New York Convention. The courts of these 54 states are required, subject to a number of limited exceptions, to recognise and enforce arbitral awards made in other contracting states. out of the 20 African states which have not ratified and acceded to the New York Convention are members of OHADA. Arbitral awards made in non-OHADA member states can be enforced in these 5 states under the OHADA Uniform Act on Arbitration 1999. out of 54 African states are neither signatories of the New York Convention, nor OHADA member states. A party seeking to enforce a foreign arbitral award in one of these states, such as Libya (where the enforcement of foreign awards is governed by the Libyan Civil Code), must rely on the provisions on the recognition and enforcement of arbitration awards in the relevant national law, which will ordinarily be more onerous than in New York Convention or OHADA member states. 76 34 5 15 5 Protections against a number of the risks facing investors in some African states could be available to foreign investors. Where disputes arise in both contractual and non-contractual relationships, investors may be entitled to protection under: – Bilateral investment treaties (BITs), such as the China – Nigeria BIT – Multilateral investment treaties (MITs) such as the South African Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Finance and Investment – State contracts BITs and MITs are international instruments concluded between states which provide substantive and procedural protections for investments made by foreign investors. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in addition to MITs, African states have entered into 474 BITs. Of these, 155 were concluded between African states, of which there are currently 31 in force. While the substantive protections available vary from treaty to treaty, BITs and MITs ordinarily provide for: – Protection against expropriation without compensation – Fair and equitable treatment – Full protection and security of investments – Free transfer of funds – Dispute resolution by international arbitration INVESTOR-STATE ARBITRATION 4 14 READ MORE SUCCESS AT ICSID FOR CLYDE & CO REPORTED BY THE PRESS READ MORE READ MORE READ MORE 15 1312 Maurice Kenton Partner, London T: +44 (0)20 7876 6520 E: maurice.kenton@clydeco.com Maurice is a partner in the global arbitration group.

WHAT IS ARBITRATION AND HOW CAN IT HELP? When structuring an investment in an African country, investors should consider the protections that are available against the particular risks that they face. Providing for the resolution of disputes by arbitration can allow investors to protect against certain risks which are present in a number of African jurisdictions. Key features and benefits of arbitration: – Neutral venue: the parties can resolve their dispute in a neutral forum which is not affected by the perceived bias of the parties’ respective home-state courts – Enforceability of arbitral awards: there are a number of binding international instruments which facilitate the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, the most important of which is the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”) – Competence and expertise: the parties can choose arbitrators based on their knowledge and experience of specific sectors, industries, and types of transaction – Flexibility: the parties can tailor all aspects of the procedure to suit their requirements including issues such as disclosure and the number of submissions – Confidentiality: the arbitral process is usually private and confidential ARBITRATION - PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENTS IN AFRICA www.clydeco.com Clyde & Co LLP Clyde & Co LLP is a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales.

BARLOW LYDE & GILBERT LLP | INTRODUÇÃO AO RESSEGURO 98 BARLOW LYDE & GILBERT LLP | AN INTRODUCTION TO REINSURANCE A reinsured may instruct a broker to act as its agent for the purposes of negotiating and placing the reinsurance contract with reinsurers. After the contract has been placed, the reinsurance broker may act as an intermediary between the principals for the purposes of transmitting the reinsurance premiums from the reinsured to the reinsurer, passing on information and collecting reinsurance claims from the reinsurers. The�broker O�broker Um ressegurado pode instruir um broker (corretor de resseguro) para atuar como seu agente na negociação e colocação do contrato de resseguro com os resseguradores. Depois que o contrato foi colocado, o corretor de resseguros pode atuar como um intermediário entre as partes para efeitos de transmissão dos prêmios de resseguro do ressegurado para o ressegurador, transmitindo informação e coletando indenizações de resseguro dos resseguradores. “A reinsured may instruct a broker to act as its agent for the purposes of negotiating and placing the reinsurance contract with reinsurers” “Um ressegurado pode instruir um broker (corretor de resseguro) para atuar como seu agente na negociação e colocação do contrato de resseguro com os resseguradores” É freqüente mais de um ressegurador participar no resseguro de um risco específico, com cada ressegurador aceitando uma parte da exposição. Isso é conhecido como Mercado de Subscrição: cada ressegurador é responsável apenas por sua parte do risco, e não pela parte do risco assumido por outros resseguradores. O ressegurador está apenas interessado em sinistros diretos na medida em que afetem a sua responsabilidade perante o ressegurado nos termos do contrato de resseguro. A relação de resseguro é ocasionada pelo contrato de resseguro e é mutualmente exclusiva da relação entre o segurador e o segurado original. O segurado original não tem interesse jurídico na relação de resseguro. As responsabilidades e obrigações entre ressegurador e ressegurado são novas responsabilidades e obrigações, criadas e reguladas pelo contrato de resseguro. Elas não são, apesar do que alguma da terminologia usada no resseguro possa sugerir, uma simples partilha de uma obrigação existente, embora haja casos em que alguns elementos do contrato subjacente possam ser incorporados no contrato de resseguro. A reinsurer is only interested in the direct losses to the extent that they affect its liability to its reinsured under the contract of reinsurance. The reinsurance relationship is brought about by the reinsurance contract and is mutually exclusive from the relationship between the insurer and the original insured. The original insured has no legal interest in the reinsurance relationship. The liabilities and obligations of the reinsurer and reinsured are new ones which are created and governed by the reinsurance contract. They are not, despite what some reinsurance terminology might suggest, a simple “share” of an existing obligation; although there are circumstances where some elements of the underlying contract may be incorporated into the reinsurance contract.

In the same way as individuals and companies need insurance to protect themselves against the risks they face, so insurers need reinsurance. When an insurer buys reinsurance it is buying protection against the costs of the claims it may have to meet under the policies of insurance it has issued. Reinsurance may be purchased in respect of a single large risk, in connection with a book of risks or even in respect of the whole account of a company. We have discussed the different types of reinsurance more fully below. The original or direct insurer who purchases the reinsurance cover is known as “the reinsured” or the “the reassured” (this latter expression is more common in marine, aviation and life business). The reinsured may also be described as the “cedant” or “ceding company”. Where a reinsurer buys reinsurance for the risks it is itself reinsuring this “reinsurance” is known as a “retrocession”. The reinsured in these circumstances will be called the “retrocedant” and the reinsurer will be called the “retrocessionaire”. It is not unusual for more than one reinsurer to participate in the reinsurance of a particular risk with each reinsurer accepting a proportion of the exposure. This is known as a Subscription Market; each reinsurer is liable for its share only and not for the share of the risk accepted by other reinsurers. What�is�reinsurance? O�que�é�o�resseguro? O resseguro é o seguro do risco de seguro. Da mesma forma como os indivíduos e as empresas precisam de seguros para se protegerem contra os riscos que enfrentam, também uma seguradora necessita de resseguro. Quando uma seguradora compra um resseguro, ela está comprando proteção contra os custos dos sinistros que pode ter que enfrentar no âmbito das apólices de seguro que emitiu. O resseguro pode ser adquirido em função de um único grande risco, de uma carteira de riscos ou mesmo em relação a todo o portfolio de seguros de uma seguradora. Discutiremos os diferentes tipos de resseguro de forma mais completa abaixo. A seguradora original ou direta que adquire a cobertura de resseguro é conhecida como "ressegurado" ou "reassegurado" (esta segunda expressão é mais comum nos setores de riscos aeronáuticos, marítimo e vida). O ressegurado pode também ser descrito como o "cedente" ou “seguradora cedente". Sempre que um ressegurador compra resseguro para os riscos que ele próprio está ressegurando este “resseguro" é conhecido como “retrocessão". O ressegurado, nestas circunstâncias, será chamado de “retrocedente" e o ressegurador será chamado de “retrocessionário”. Introduction The purpose of this booklet is to provide readers with an introductory guide to reinsurance. The booklet contains a practical explanation of the principal types of reinsurance including facultative covers, treaty reinsurance, excess of loss and proportional cover. The booklet also addresses topics including the function of slips and the formation of the reinsurance contract, the duty of utmost good faith, policy wordings and conditions, triggers of coverage, aggregation and common claims provisions. At the end of the booklet there is a glossary of frequently occurring terms. Much of what is discussed in the booklet, such as the meaning of facultative reinsurance, is of universal application, but where specific legal issues are raised, our comments are from the perspective of English Law.
