Demonstrable experience in sectors including banking and finance bolsters the reputation of BLC Robert & Associates, whose team is frequently retained in complex, high-value commercial disputes before all levels of the Mauritian court system. Evidence of a stellar track record at the appellate level includes the successful defence before both the Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of a challenge to an arbitral award arising out of a failure to pay tranches due under a shareholders agreement in VSoft Holdings LLC v Peepul Capital Fund II LLC. Iqbal Rajahbalee SC is engaged in resisting an injunction obtained by the Republic of India against Mauritian companies pursuing investment treaty arbitration in CC/Devas (Mauritius) Ltd v The Republic of India, and has defended a commercial bank in a high-profile wrongful termination claim in Beeharry v Maubank Ltd. Mushtaq Namdarkhan represented an investment fund in an application seeking to compel disclosures relating to an alleged fraud in Stanford Asset Holdings Limited and The Greenway PCC v AfrAsia Bank, and Ravi Bhookhun continues to build his portfolio, having previously appeared as junior counsel in an employment dispute before the Privy Council in Grewals (Mauritius) Ltd v Koo See Lin.
