Background

Executive Summary

In mid-2017, BPA Engineering (Turkey) entered into discussions concerning a proposed long-term commercial cooperation involving the supply of natural rubber products from Vietnam.

During the following months, commercial terms were discussed, draft agreements were exchanged and a written agreement was signed. As part of the agreed commercial framework, a security deposit was transferred.

The anticipated cooperation did not proceed as originally planned. Subsequent correspondence concerned delayed deliveries, cancellation of the commercial relationship and requests for repayment of the security deposit.
