Introduction

This chapter was in progress when the Yukos Awards were handed down on 18 July 2014. It is very early days to provide meaningful comment on the tenor and impact of the Yukos cases, aside from noting the numerical hyperboles associated with the Awards themselves, both in terms of pages of documents, size of the record and sums awarded.
