Students from UCD Sutherland School of Law have triumphed in the Cape Town Convention Academic Project’s inaugural Irish moot.
The UCD team of Robert Grendon, Josh Walsh, Niamh McKnight and Robin Jowett faced off against the Trinity College Dublin team of Keelan Daye, Julia Tomasiak, Daniel Walsh and Harsha Vardhan Pujari at Arthur Cox’s offices on Tuesday 24 June.
The moot was concerned with the interaction of Irish schemes of arrangement under Part 9 of the Companies Act 2014 and remedies under the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol.
Mr Justice Denis McDonald, Ms Justice Eileen Roberts and Mr Justice Michael Quinn judged the final and gave feedback to the students.
The UCD students were supported in their preparations by Dr Máire Ní Shúilleabháin and Dr Noel McGrath and by lawyers from A&L Goodbody, Arthur Cox, Mason Hayes & Curran, Matheson and McCann FitzGerald.
The event was organised by Séamus Ó Cróinín of A&L Goodbody and Jeffrey Wool of the Cape Town Convention Academic Project.
