Download or read book Arbitral Travels written by Maurice J. Stoppi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jamaica, the Caribbean and internationally, the process of arbitration as an alternative to court action in settling disputes is no longer the subject of an esoteric debate but increasingly is becoming a standard requirement in both government and private-sector contracts. In the process of numerous and varied activities in this field, a great deal of experience and knowledge has been acquired by the author. Over the years, many of his colleagues, mainly in the legal profession, have suggested that if not recorded, this knowledge will be lost. It is in response to those requests that this book has been written. The volume is annotated with practical solutions, not often found in most textbooks on this subject, to frequently asked questions of the author over the years concerning general practice and management of the process of arbitrations.

Download or read book Arbitration in Africa written by Lise Bosman and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of this unprecedented volume assembles an updated and expanded country-by-country analysis – both practical and insightful – of how arbitration is conducted in forty-nine African countries, providing essential information about legislative provisions, treaty adherence, and arbitral procedure. Contributors include sought-after African arbitrators, distinguished practitioners, academics and institution-builders, all of whom are active in promoting the use of arbitration as a viable means of dispute resolution in Africa. Five sections representing the main regions of the continent, each with a substantive introductory chapter covering the major trends within that region, offer country overviews addressing issues such as the following: adherence to the key arbitration conventions; modernity of a State’s arbitration legislation and its compatibility with the UNCITRAL Model Law; particular features of arbitral practice in that jurisdiction (including responses to the COVID-19 pandemic); access to and (where available) statistics from local and regional arbitral institutions; significant arbitration-related national case law; and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. A sixth section focuses on treaty-based investor-State arbitration against African States under the ICSID Convention, providing an empirical analysis of the experience and record of African States with investor-State arbitration in the period between 2010 and 2020. Useful tables and graphics of intra-African bilateral investment treaties, a list of ICSID proceedings involving African States, a list of treaty accession by African States, and other tabular features round out the volume. The first edition of this volume was welcomed by arbitration practitioners and legal academics everywhere as an essential guide to an emerging and important area of international arbitration practice. This second edition tracks the significant developments (in treaty accession, reform of arbitration legislation and developing case law) that have taken place over the past decade, and confirms that arbitration as a preferred method of dispute resolution is now firmly entrenched on the African continent.
Download or read book Arbitrators as Lawmakers written by Dolores Bentolila and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses how arbitrators make rules that guide, constrain, and define the process and substance of international arbitration. Providing a thorough and multidisciplinary analysis of the actors, process, and outcome of arbitral lawmaking, the study shows how arbitrators create principles of law through consistent arbitral decision-making and through interacting with other members of the arbitral community. This book investigates and responds to the following questions: - What is the relationship between international arbitration and the law and courts of the seat? - What is the role of international tribunals in assisting and controlling investment arbitration? - What is the scope of arbitrators’ freedom in decision-making? - What constraints limit arbitrators’ decision-making and contribute to consistency? - Is international arbitration capable of paying deference to past arbitral decisions? - Which rules have arbitrators created in procedural and substantive matters? - What is the role and status of consistent arbitral decisions? - Is there an arbitral legal system? The answers to these questions are drawn from actual arbitral decisions made available to the public, clarifying important issues about jurisdiction, procedure, applicable law, interpretation of substantive rules and instruments, and remedies. This is the first overarching study of whether and to what extent international commercial, and investment arbitrators create norms and even generate a legal system. As such, it will be of immeasurable and lasting value to arbitrators, practitioners, scholars, arbitral institutions, and international organizations worldwide, for all of whom it will not only clarify our understanding of arbitral decision-making and arbitrator-made rules, but also foster transparency and accountability in arbitral decision-making

Download or read book Clear Path or Jungle in Commercial Arbitrators Conflict of Interest written by Felix Dasser and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In arbitral proceedings, objections and challenges related to arbitrators’ conflicts of interest can readily escalate into acrimony. Moreover, the alleged fear of bias has engendered a veritable jungle of rules and guidelines, complicating and even undermining the process. In this book’s innovative approach to this thorny subject, prominent specialists representing three stakeholding groups—users, institutions, and state courts—impart firsthand information on their respective practices and policies concerning arbitration, and then proceed to recommend promising paths to harmonizing guidelines and establishing clear and reasonable criteria. Drawing on papers presented at a conference sponsored by the Swiss Arbitration Association (ASA), the contributions respond in depth to such questions as the following: How much independence and impartiality do users seek? What are users expecting and to what extent do expectations differ with regard to the users’ own arbitrator, the arbitrator appointed by the opponent, and the chairperson? In what ways can party-appointed arbitrators impact independence and impartiality? When and why should an arbitrator be challenged? How much uniformity exists among the various sets of institutional rules and guidelines, relating in particular to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal? Contributors come from a representative range of major commercial jurisdictions, including England, France, Germany, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United States. With its deeply informed, practice-based views from users, arbitral institutions, major jurisdictions, and practitioners, this remarkably thorough overview of arbitrators’ conflicts of interest will facilitate informed choice of jurisdictions and arbitral institutions for users and assist arbitrators in ascertaining their disclosure obligations. It will be highly valued by corporate counsel, arbitral institutions, arbitrators, judges, and academics interested in international arbitration.

Download or read book Judicial Review of Arbitration written by Lin Yifei and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International commercial arbitration relies on the possibility of enforcing arbitral decisions against recalcitrant parties. In China, a crucial world market, where the annual arbitration caseload has reached 200,000 and where arbitration is evolving, authorities attach great importance to judicial review of arbitration. This is the first book to address issues concerning the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards under applicable law in “Greater China”—the People’s Republic (PRC), Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao—describing and analyzing the effect of judicial review on a wealth of recent issues and cases. After providing an overview of the legal framework for Chinese arbitration and judicial review of arbitration, the book introduces and discusses the law governing the arbitration agreement, due process, the arbitrator’s power, arbitrability, formation of arbitral tribunal, mediation and public policy. In its focus on the various challenges and defenses arising at all stages of the enforcement application process, such issues and topics as the following are covered in detail: • significant judicial interpretations of the Supreme People’s Court as recent as 2018; • examination of the validity of arbitration agreements; • setting aside and enforcement of arbitral awards by PRC arbitration institutions; • role of the New York Convention and other treaties; • succession of contract; • examination of evidence; and • role of competition law and intellectual property law. In the discussion of each case and each type of issue, the book shows clearly what kind of arbitral awards can be recognized and enforced in China and what kind cannot. Comparative studies of foreign laws and practices are included where relevant, and an abundance of primary source material is provided in appendices. Practitioners, global law firms, companies doing transnational business, jurists and academics from all countries concerned with matters regarding international and foreign-related arbitration in China will welcome this invaluable source of detailed information.
Download or read book Institutional Arbitration written by Rolf A Schütze and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 1512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International arbitration has become the preferred dispute resolution mechanism in cross-border disputes. In the course of time, ad hoc arbitration, where the parties have to create their own rules and procedures, has increasingly been replaced by institutional arbitration where a specialised institution with a permanent organisation provides assistance and a set of practice-proven rules. The services and rules provided by the various institutions of arbitration differ. In order to inform the potential parties and their counsels about the differences and to make the choice between the different arbitration regimes easier, and to offer guidance through the various provisions, this book provides a comprehensive article-by-article commentary of rules of arbitration of 14 important arbitration institutions: AAA (American Arbitration Association) CIEDAC (China International Economic and Trade Arbitration) DIAC (Dubai International Arbitration Centre) DIS (German Institution of Arbitration) ICC (International Court of Arbitration) ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes) KLRCA (Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration) LCIA (The London Court of International Arbitration) MKAS (Moscow International Commercial Arbitration Court) SCC (Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Arbitration) SIAC (Singapore International Arbitration Centre) Swiss Rules UNCITRAL Rules Vienna Rules

Download or read book Investor State Arbitration written by Christopher F. Dugan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investor-State Arbitration describes the increasing importance of international investment and the necessary development of a new field of international law that defines the obligations of host states and creates procedures for resolving disputes. The authors examine the international treaties that allow investors to proceed with the arbitration of their claims, describe the most-commonly employed arbitration rules, and set forth the most important elements of investor-State arbitration procedure - including tribunal composition, jurisdiction, evidence, award, and challenge of annulment. The authors trace the evolution and rapid development of the field of international investment, including the formation of the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), and the more than 2,000 bilateral investment treaties, most of which were entered into in the last twenty years. The authors explain how this development has led to far greater certainty for foreign investors in dealing with their host countries, as well as how it has incentivized growth in international trade and commerce.
Download or read book Interim Measures in International Arbitration written by Lawrence W. Newma and published by Juris Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Interim Measures in International Arbitration edited by Lawrence Newman and Dr. Colin Ong, is most auspicious in its timing. The editors have compiled a shrewd and very practical questionnaire and they have gathered together a formidable group of some of the most reputed and talented practising arbitration lawyers, academics and arbitrators from 43 leading jurisdictions to inform the reader about the essential elements of the different interim measures which are available as part of the arbitral process in a very large number of different national jurisdictions. This book, thus, combines the best elements of a focused legal textbook with the essential practicalities of a practitioners' procedural handbook. This should be a standard travelling-companion of international arbitrators and counsel as well as many international lawyers--not just those who are arbitration specialists.
