Observatory on the case law on financial derivatives in renewable energy companies - Second Edition

A year-on-year statistical analysis of the judgements of the Provincial Courts and the Supreme Court has been conducted in this study, with the judgements pronounced in favour of and against investors, between 2011 and the first quarter of 2019 expressed numerically and in percentages.

Since the entire content of the published Provincial Court judgements has been analysed, in principle there should be no statistical errors. However, we would like to point out that it is possible that some judgements have not mentioned that it is a renewable energy project and that the name of the plaintiff company is not sufficiently expressive of the fact that it is a renewable energy company. This could lead to some small margin of error, which, if it exists, in view of the large sample analysed, we believe would not be statistically relevant.
