In a dispute between a juice and dairy producer and a Middle Eastern state, FTI Consulting was appointed to provide independent expert witness evidence before an international arbitral tribunal on the loss suffered by the claimant.
Situation
The claimant, a company producing juice and dairy products in the Middle East, considered that the respondent, a Middle Eastern state, had unlawfully threatened expropriating the land on which its producing facilities were located, thereby preventing it from making the investment necessary to sustain its operations.
The claimant sought relief for the loss caused by these measures, including losses of market share and in turn of revenues and profits.
