The arbitration claim was issued pursuant to section 44 of the Arbitration Act 1996 because of conflicting instructions received by DB with regard to the payment of the proceeds. The court appointed the receivers, following which DB transferred the proceeds of the gold swap contract to the receivers. In September and October 2019 the Guaidó Board and the Maduro Board served statements of case setting out, respectively, the entitlement of Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Ortega to give instructions on behalf of the BCV.
