The recent UK Court of Appeal decision in Infrastructure Services Luxembourg S.à.r.l. & Anor v The Kingdom of Spain ([2024] EWCA Civ 1257) has significant implications for the enforcement of International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) arbitration awards in the United Kingdom. This ruling provides useful clarification on the relationship between state immunity defences and the UK's obligations under the ICSID Convention. In upholding the judgment on appeal, this ruling reinforces London's status as an arbitration and enforcement hub, in line with its position as a global financial centre.

Modern data centres cover millions of square metres, house expensive computing equipment, and consume as much power as small cities. They are complex undertakings involving intricate contractual obligations and supply chain interdependencies spanning all industries and economic sectors. With significant financial stakes tied to construction delays, regulatory compliance, service level agreements, intellectual property rights and energy supply, disputes are becoming more frequent and costly. Litigation funding is the perfect tool to alleviate the financial pressures created by data centre disputes and improve the investment returns on these assets.
