The 2017 Terms
The 2017 Terms
I have already concluded that VTB is bound by the 2017 Terms as a matter of contract. Two further issues arise:
which of the JPM Entities are entitled to enforce the 2017 Terms Arbitration Agreement; and
the effect of the contractual hierarchy provisions on the status of the 2017 Terms Arbitration Agreement in relation to the various claims brought by VTB.
