Coal Expert Witness, Arbitrator and Litigation Support, Peter Sceats and Associates

COAL EXPERT WITNESS  

Peter Sceats & Associates has the ability to support external legal advisors or in-house legal teams of companies who find themselves involved in trading and related litigation. We act and appear as an independent expert witness, fully conversant with the relevant passage of Cresswell J’s Judgement in the Ikarian Refer case.

As founders of the API coal indices we have a deep and unique understanding of international coal pricing. Very few other experts can cite supplier (BHPB), consumer (RWE Group) AND broker (Tradition Group) experience, and no other expert witness can lay claim to the gravitas that being the founder of the market’s price benchmark can bring.

All expert witness work is carried out by our Principal Peter Sceats in person.

COAL PANEL ARBITRATOR  

We are commissioned regularly on a confidential basis to act as advisors and/or expert witnesses on international matters involving litigation both in the High Courts and also on arbitration panels.

COAL LITIGATION SUPPORT  

We help discover the underlying facts, understand trading patterns or relevant commercial activities and compare any given situation with usual practice of trade.  We have substantial experience in establishing a fair and objective assessment of damages or 'quantum'.

The sums involved in complex litigation cases can be substantial, running into hundreds of millions of dollars. We provide expert testimony on such issues as pricing trends, valuation and current best practice on trading and contracts.

To keep costs down, our fees are structured into three simple bands:

• •    A Rate - Charged only for appearance at court or arbitration
• •    B Rate - Charged for most report drafting
• •    C Rate - An associate rate charged for data collection and other general duties.

Recent examples of our work include:

• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning supplier/consumer coal agreements
• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning (coal and other commodity) derivative contracts
• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning failure to take delivery of coal
• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning transfer pricing
• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning non-delivery of coal
• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning coal pricing linked to coal (and other) indices
• •    Litigation/Arbitration concerning the valuation of coal option value
