Orion Geradora de Energia Joint Venture 2 Ltda v Engie Brasil Energia Comercializadora Ltda, Apelação Cível No 0024255-13.2023.8.26.0100, Court of Appeals of the State of São Paulo What are the practical implications of this case? The Brazilian Arbitration Act (Federal Law No 9,307/1996) treats arbitral independence and impartiality as a cornerstone of the process.

EU ambitions to cut landfill disposal, together with advances in technology, spurred the roll-out of new waste infrastructure across the UK. Broadly, two principal contracting routes exist for such schemes: Waste Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) infrastructure contracts, which, from February 2025, are generally subject to the Procurement Act 2023. Existing PFI and Private Finance 2 (PF2) arrangements entered into before November 2018 continue to run Merchant waste infrastructure contracts A merchant contract is a binding agreement between a business (the merchant) and, commonly, an acquiring bank. Merchant waste schemes are those where the sponsor (or ‘acquiring bank’) is a private entity, for example the Green Investment Group.

This Practice Note concentrates on merchant waste infrastructure contracts. For details on waste PFI/PPP schemes, see Practice Note: Waste projects—waste PFI/PPP infrastructure projects.
