• Advised Republica de Ecuador. Consorcio Fronterizo began an annulment process against the arbitral award issued by Tribunal composed for Mario Castillo (President), Augusto Eguiguren, and Fernando Cantuarias. (Case N° 023–2016). As arguments of its lawsuit, Consorcio Fronterizo has indicated that the Arbitral Tribunal would not adequately motivated its decision when it analyzed the possibility of executing the studies of the Puyango Tumbes Binational Project in a National Peruvian Park. Contrary to what is established in the Peruvian Arbitration Law, the consortium intends that the Superior Court issues a ruling on the merits of the controversy, by challenging the criteria of the Arbitral Tribunal. This case is important because the Superior Court will issue a decision about the validity of the arbitration award referred to a project, whose was born in the frame of an International Treaty subscribed by Both nations in 1971, and then was Ratified by the Peace Treaty Between the Peru and Ecuador in 1998. In that sense, the project, and therefore the validity of the arbitral award, are very important in the bilateral relationship between both countries. Role: Republic of Ecuador's attorneys.
