High Court compels disclosure of London arbitration record
On 22 December 2025, the KwaZulu-Natal High Court delivered an important judgment in The National Ports Authority, a division of Transnet (SOC) Ltd vs The Owners and Underwriters of the MV Smart [Case No. A 11/2016]. The court directed that a substantial body of documents produced in confidential London arbitration proceedings be disclosed for related litigation in South Africa. This ruling confirms that the High Court compels disclosure even in cross-border arbitration contexts.
