Thanks, Bruce ---------------------- Forwarded by Bruce Lundstrom/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT on 04/08/2001 02:01 PM --------------------------- "Katwala, Sandeep" > on 04/07/2001 04:59:15 PM To: "'bruce.lundstrom@enron.com'" > cc: Subject: Indian Counsel Bruce, Justice PN Bhagwati For many years he was the Chief Justice of India - and was responsible for many of the landmark decisions passed by the Supreme Court. After retirement from the Supreme Court he has pursued a career as an arbitrator and has been involved on a number of international arbitrations. As a separate career he provides legal opinions on commercial matters. He is currently recognised as one of if not the outstanding senior lawyers in India. He with Justice Chandrachud are probably India's best known arbitrators. Has an outstanding reputation as an intellect to be reckoned with - in the conferences I have had with him (on Metgas) and in Chris and Atul's dealings with him you have to marvel at his speed of thought despite the years. Our primary concern with him appearing on the other side either for GOI or GOM as their arbitrator, apart from his capability, is the simple fact that he is extremely busy. If GOI or GOM want to slow down an arbitration proceeding then in Atul's words "there can be no better choice than Mr Bhagwati". He has chaired several commissions - eg he wrote the revised Takeover Code. He has also been responsible for much of the insolvency legislation. I don't have sufficient details on Justices Chandrachud and Chandurkar and could I please ask Chris to forward these to Bruce.
