This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baker and McKenzie International Arbitration Yearbook 2014-2015 covers 45 jurisdictions and is organized by country. As in past years, the first section (Part A) describes important recent developments and trends in national legislation and practice affecting the conduct of international arbitration. The second section (Part B) refers to noteworthy case law in each country, and a third section (Part C) focuses on an important current topic in international arbitration. This year's topic is local arbitration institutions. Each jurisdiction was invited to describe the history and background of its local institutions, the types of disputes handled, and the most recent available statistics for numbers of disputes handled. Each jurisdiction was also asked to set out the key features of arbitration in each institution, such as its position on the confidentiality of arbitration, the availability of expedited procedures and consolidation of disputes, and any time limits for rendering of the award. Jurisdictions were also invited to describe how costs and fees are typically dealt with by the institution and to mention any special or unusual features of its procedure. The diversity and breadth of global international arbitration practice is clearly displayed in these chapters. The Baker and McKenzie International Arbitration Yearbook 2014-2015 provides critical commentary about world-wide developments that directly affect the risks and challenges of doing business locally and internationally and managing the disputes that follow.

Download or read book The Developing World of Arbitration written by Anselmo Reyes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Developing World of Arbitration studies the recent emergence of Asia Pacific jurisdictions as regional or international arbitration centres, thanks to various reform efforts and initiatives. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which arbitration law and practice have recently been reformed in Asia Pacific jurisdictions. Leading contributors across the Asia Pacific region analyse twelve major jurisdictions representing varying patterns and degrees of development, whether driven from top down, bottom up, or by some hybrid impetus. Setting the arbitration systems and reforms of each investigated jurisdiction in the context of its economic, political, and judicial dynamics, this book presents, for the first-time, a cross-jurisdiction comparative and contextual study of the developing world of arbitration in the Asia Pacific and contributes to comparative international arbitration literature from an Eastern perspective. It also aims to identify an Asia Pacific model of arbitration modernisation, one that may be distinct from a Western model, and predicts future trajectories of development and challenge in light of the ever increasing competition between Eastern- and Western-based arbitration centres. This edited collection will be an invaluable addition to the libraries of academics and practitioners in the field of international commercial arbitration.

Download or read book Risk Allocation and Distributive Justice in the Energy Industry written by Smith I Azubuike and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brings the concept of gross negligence to the fore and highlights how distributive justice forms a better foundation for risk allocation in the offshore energy industry Assessed the practice of risk allocation in gross negligence cases in offshore petroleum drilling contracts Presented a public policy perspective on risk allocation in offshore drilling contracts Discussed gross negligence as a sui generis risk and provides a definitional pathway for determining when gross negligence has occurred and how it should apply to offshore energy drilling contracts to encourage a pollution-free drilling operation Advanced the concept of distributive justice as a basis for risk allocation between participants when a downside arises due to gross negligence This book examines the practice of risk allocation in the offshore energy industry through the public policy lens and offers a novel perspective on the concept of gross negligence in risk allocation. This perspective is founded on the proportionality element of distributive justice in burden distribution. The assessment of how mutual indemnity clauses apply as an absolute shield against liability arising from gross negligence reveals that moral hazard can result from the practice. In the analysis, this book considers the risk allocation practice in PSC and Concession regimes and how parties' liability is determined in drilling contracts. This book considers gross negligence a sui generis risk and provides a definitional pathway for determining when gross negligence occurs and how it should apply to offshore drilling contracts. Thus, it advances an environmental sustainability approach to offshore petroleum drilling operations. This book will be useful to operators and contractors, resource-rich countries, insurance companies, practitioners, scholars, and academics interested in risk allocation in the petroleum industry.

Download or read book Indonesian Law written by Tim Lindsey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia has a growing population of almost 300 million people, it is increasingly involved in world affairs, and has a booming economy. The need to better understand its unique, complex, and often obscure legal system, has become pressing. This is true across a wide range of sectors including, but not limited to, trade and investment, crime and terrorism, and human rights. Indonesia's democratization after the fall of Soeharto in 1998 triggered massive social and political changes that opened up this diverse, and formerly tightly-controlled, society. Law reform was a key driver of Indonesia's transformation and its full effect remains to be seen. This book offers clear and detailed explanations of the foundations of Indonesia's legal system in the context of its legal reform and rapid development. It offers succinct commentaries on a wide range of issues, examining the judicial process, the constitution, corruption and the court system, contract law, administrative law, foreign investment, taxation, Islamic law, and family law. It examines current substantive law and judicial interpretation and presents case studies of how the system operates in practice. Written in an accessible and engaging style, this book is an essential guide for readers seeking quick and clear answers to questions regarding the law and its application in Indonesia.

Download or read book The Politics of Investment Treaties in Latin America written by Julia Calvert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International investment law is at a crossroads. Civil society groups, prominent think tanks, and international organisations are calling for widespread reform. At the centre of controversy are international investment agreements (IIAs) and investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). Over 1,000legal claims have been brought by foreign investors under IIAs since the mid-1990s, resulting in multi-million dollar fines imposed against governments for policies related to the environment, natural resource governance, and access to basic services among other areas of public concern. Governmentstargeted by investor claims are pursuing a variety of reforms that range from the incremental to paradigm-shifting. These different responses raise important questions about the politics of infringement and reform: Why do governments infringe on IIAs despite the costs of doing so? Why do somegovernments heavily targeted by investor claims pursue more substantive reforms than others? This book provides a timely examination of infringement and reform in Latin America, where governments felt the sting of investor claims sooner and with greater frequency than in other regions. It focuses onPeru, Argentina, and Ecuador, countries that responded very differently to waves of investor claims. Based on interviews with government officials, and international lawyers as well as an extensive analysis of legal transcripts, detailed case study chapters examine the conditions that promptedinvestor claims and the factors that inform country's reform agendas. In doing so, the book illustrates the conditions under which IIAs constrain state behaviour and how different belief systems produce different responses to external pressures for treaty compliance.
