Haemopolitics: Blood and the Question of Community

Kanika Gauba

How does modern law imagine blood-based community? To what extent, and in what forms, are modern law and politics constituted on haematological ground? What communities are imaginable in an age of nation-states? Conversely, what communities can no longer be alluded to, whether in theory or in practice?

Regrettable or Fatal? Arbitrator Non-Disclosure Before the Delhi High Court

October 13, 2025

This piece argues that the Delhi High Court's Engineering Projects v. MSA Global ruling erroneously granted an anti-arbitration injunction based on an arbitrator's non-disclosure. The court mistakenly applied the low-threshold disclosure standard (ICC Art. 11) instead of the objective "justifiable doubts" challenge standard (ICC Art. 14) to find the proceedings "oppressive." This conflation, which disregards the ICC Court's own findings, represents a form of procedural hyper-vigilance that undermines party autonomy and international arbitral norms.

Diluting the Market Dilution Theory: Why Kadrey v. Meta Gets Market Harm Wrong

October 13, 2025

Introduction The AI training and copyright debate has witnessed pivotal moments with summary rulings in  Richard Kadrey v. Meta Platforms, Inc and Bartz v. Anthropic (now settled). In Meta, the court introduced a novel ‘market dilution’ theory, which suggests that AI-generated works, even if non-infringing, could flood the market and indirectly harm original authors. This […]
