NUJS Kolkata has reclaimed the third spot in the Mooting Premier League (MPL) 4 sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills after making the last 16 at the Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Vienna, which concluded on 26March.
NUJS lost out in the octa finals and also gained an honourable mention for its respondent memo. This will give NUJS 25 points in the Mooting Premier League (MPL) 4 sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills, overtaking NLU Jodhpur for third place.
Radhika Chitkara of NLSIU Bangalore fetched an honourable mention as an orator and earned her university 10 points. The results were independently corroborated by the moot court committees of NUJS and NLSIU.
Preliminary reports also suggest that Nalsar Hyderabad may have won an honourable mention, although Team MPL could not confirm this authoritatively at the time of going to press and has not yet awarded MPL points.
Nalsar had won the Vis Vienna moot last year after a nine year dry spell for Indian teams.
Vis Hong Kong update
In addition to the results reported earlier for the Vis (East) Hong Kong moot, Team MPL has confirmed that Nalsar Hyderabad won an honourable mention for its claimant memorial. NLU Jodhpur’s Siddhant Chamola also received an honourable mention as the second best speaker, while the NLU Jodhpur team also won an honourable mention for its respondent memorial.

Frankfurt Investment Arb moot
In other news, the Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot ended without any notable Indian result. The highest Indian achievement was by GNLU, which ended up at 10th place out of 34 teams. Update: Team MPL was sent erroneous information by the organisers of the Frankfurt moot. We will update shortly.
International law firm Herbert Smith is sponsoring the Mooting Premier League (MPL) and will contribute a prize pool of Rs 60,000 for the top three winning colleges.

Otherwise what would be the difference between the 20th rank honorable mention speaker and the 3rd best speaker at the moot ? 10 points for both of them ? Isnt that unfair ?
2. NUJS made quarters at Frankfurt Investment Arbitration; that was the best performance by an Indian team.
Please get your facts right on Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot. GNLU made it to the Semis, NUJS to the quarter finals and NLU D till the top 16 rounds.
We will amend shortly...
