For more information, refer to our blog post on TrialDirector: http://www.a2lc.com/blog/bid/51467/Ma... A2L Consulting's Trial Technician, Daniel Carey, Presents Flawlessly Using Trial Director in an International Arbitration Trial Director, a trial presentation software package from InData, facilitates an engaging presentation of documents at trial. Instead of bringing up a screen shot of a document in PowerPoint and watching fact-finders nod off, TrialDirector makes watching documents while a witness testifies in litigation more interesting. A2L Consulting's trial technicians/hot seat operators have been supporting trials and arbitrations around the world since the mid-1990s. Clipped from 2 weeks of testimony and argument in the ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes) at the World Bank , this video shows how our hot seat operator skillfully brings up documents in real time and highlights key points for all present at the arbitration. The case here is Railroad Development Corporation v. Republic of Guatemala. Our clients are RDC and their law firm Greenberg Traurig. At the end of the video, we include the beginning of opposing counsel's argument to illustrate how opposing counsel's low-tech approach falls flat, in our opinion. "Going back to basics," indeed.

The first element is the same number that you just saw, that you accumulated the value of the lost investment. The second one is the recovery of shutdown expenses. These are the expenses they incurred in order to terminate the business. The third line shows the loss profits claim, which is the projection of the operations of the railway and real estate. Then you have the total revised damages and claim, and then least income received $2,002.10 is a negative item because these are incomes that they received, and should be reduced from the claim. And then the bottom line, which I have colored green, is total net damages. Foster: We look forward to your consideration of the evidence that you've heard. I'd like to begin by just addressing a few of the respondents contentions in their opening statement, and try to draw your attention to what we believe are the overwhelming facts that refute their contentions. The first contention, the respondent made on it's opening PowerPoint slide number two is that RDC did not keep its promise to invest. Respondent told you that claimant never fulfilled its promise to invest. Respondent told you that thirteen years after the bid was issued and won by RDC, there is no modernized rail system in Guatemala. The facts are starkly different. What respondent didn't tell you was that as early as 1999, RDC's investment was significant and the modernization was well underway. The following are some of the images that respondent doesn't want you to pay attention to. The first, of course, is what this railroad looked like when FEG and RDC came into possession of it; it was literally in ruins. In contrast, what RDC did was to install new cross ties to rehabilitate the railway. The evidence is overwhelming. Hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of crossed paths. Bridges were restored, heavy container traffic began, there'd never been containers carried by this railroad before. Now, as to the award, when you conclude as I think you will, and I certainly urge you to, when you conclude that RDC is entitled to an award on the merits, at that point, you will have concluded three times that RDC is right; twice on jurisdictional points, and once on the merits. Under those circumstances, I would submit to you that it is not only appropriate that the facts cry out for the award of cost and attorney's fees to RDC and FEG in connection with this proceeding. Thank you very much
