Woodside want quick resolution to Senegal, page-47

Zacma,
I agree whole heartedly with your summary.

Here are the Senegal regs iI was referring to.
I think PC was referring to the last one.ie; not tested yet.

Oil & Gas Regulation 2016 Senegal

Provide a brief overview of compulsory dispute resolution procedures (statutory or otherwise) applying to the oil and natural gas sector (if any), including procedures applying in the context of disputes between the applicable Government authority/regulator and: participants in relation to oil and natural gas development; transportation pipeline and associated infrastructure owners or users in relation to the transportation, processing or storage of natural gas; downstream oil infrastructure owners or users; and distribution network owners or users in relation to the distribution/transmission of natural gas.
Breaches of applicable laws and regulations fall within the remit of the courts of the Republic of Senegal.
However, disputes that may arise from the interpretation or application of an agreement or contract are optionally submitted to an arbitration procedure under arrangements specified in the agreement or service contract.
13.2 Is your jurisdiction a signatory to, and has it duly ratified into domestic legislation: the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards; and/or the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (“ICSID”)?
The Convention on the Disputes Settlement of Investment between States and Nationals of other States, signed March 18, 1965, was ratified by Senegal under Decree 67-517 of 19 May 1967, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Senegal June 10, 1967.
13.3 Is there any special difficulty (whether as a matter of law or practice) in litigating, or seeking to enforce judgments or awards, against Government authorities or State organs (including any immunity)?
There is not no special difficulty in litigating, or seeking to enforce judgments or awards, against Government authorities or State organs.
13.4 Have there been instances in the oil and natural gas sector when foreign corporations have successfully obtained judgments or awards against Government authorities or State organs pursuant to litigation before domestic courts?
There have been no instances of this nature of dispute as yet.
