Based on the 90 day passage of time since the arbitration was concluded on January 6th, most have been predicting that Sammy The Price Fixer would go to the IDCC jail in the very near future.

But you asked the critical question:

"It would be helful if someone. . . remembers when the ICC Court meets."

I casually answered "on the 25th or 30th", and went on to other things. And it was not till later that I gave it more thought, and answer began ringing in my ears.

As we know, the panel sends its preliminary decision to Paris, where it is reviewed and sent back to the panel. As I recall, the panel signs the final decision, and sends it back to Paris, who sends it to the attorneys for the parties. (Who then communicate it to their clients).

If that procedure is correct, and if the case was handled at the April meeting, we could well hear something in the coming two weeks or so.

Even if it wasn't, the prospect gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling because, given the Nokia result, Sammy should want to settle before being told what to do by a third party.
