Abstract

This article provides an overview of the Willem Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in general and of the novel and difficult legal issues raised by the 2023-2024 moot Problem. On the merits, the main legal issues involved liability for misdirected payments as a result of cyberattacks and the existence of an obligation of information and/or good faith in the performance of a contract between commercial parties to a contract governed by the CISG. The procedural issues concerned the mechanisms for adding a new claim after the signature of the Terms of Reference and/or for consolidating two arbitrations, under the ICC Rules, in the presence of several arbitration agreements, comprising a clause included in a framework agreement and clauses included in specific purchase orders under the umbrella of that framework agreement.
