Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides important insights into how judges and arbitrators resolve complex commercial disputes in both national and international settings. The analysis is built from three major research sources which ensures that the analysis can bridge evidence of perception, behaviours, and outcomes amongst judges and arbitrators. A statistical survey provides a benchmark and point of comparison with the subjective statements arising from an extensive programme of interviews and questionnaires to provide an objective lens on the reasoning process that informs decisions and awards in practice. The outcome, presented in Legal Reasoning across Commercial Disputes, is an evidence-based model of the determining factors in legal reasoning by identifying and quantifying approximately seventy-five objective markers for which data can be compared across the arbitral-judicial, domestic-international, and common law-civil law divides. The methodology provides for a thorough and contextual assessment of legal reasoning by judges and arbitrators in commercial disputes. Legal Reasoning across Commercial Disputes investigates the level of sophistication and complexity associated with commercial arbitration relative to commercial litigation through domestic courts. The study not only helps parties make more informed choices about where and how to resolve their legal disputes, it also assists judges and arbitrators in carrying out their duties by improving counsel's understanding about how to best to craft and present legal arguments and submissions. The study also addresses longstanding theoretical concerns about the legitimacy of national and international commercial arbitration by replacing assumptions and anecdotes with objective data. The final part of the book draws together the various strands of analysis and concludes with a number of forward-looking proposals about how a deeper understanding of legal and judicial reasoning can be established to improve the quality of decisions and outcomes for all parties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally speaking, the losing party is more interested than the winning party in understanding the reasons for the outcome of the proceeding. And yet, the requirement that, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the award “shall state the reasons upon which it is based” is a widely recognized principle in international arbitration. The rules of most arbitral institutions also require that an award include reasons. This Institute Dossier addresses reasoning in International Commercial and Investment Arbitration Awards: Should an arbitrator state his reasons? Why? How extensive and/or complete must the reasoning be for the process to be fully comprehensible and thus legitimate to the parties? What may be the consequences of an unsatisfactory reasoning? Readers will get useful insights into the legal reasoning process by accessing data from a recent large-scale empirical study of legal reasoning in commercial disputes. They will also be treated to some creative writing tips in the hope that reading an award becomes a more interesting part of the job. The ICC Institute of World Business Law brings together the finest legal minds to strengthen links between international business practitioners and the legal profession. The Institute ‘Dossiers’ is a series that has gained international prestige.

Download or read book International Commercial Disputes written by Jonathan Hill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-28 with total page 1099 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth edition of this highly regarded work on the law of international commercial litigation as practised in the English courts. As such it is primarily concerned with how commercial disputes which have connections with more than one country are dealt with by the English courts. Much of the law which provides the framework for the resolution of such disputes is derived from international instruments, including recent Conventions and Regulations which have significantly re-shaped the law in the European Union. The scope and impact of these European instruments is fully explained and assessed in this new edition. The work is organised in four parts. The first part considers the jurisdiction of the English courts and the recognition and enforcement in England of judgments granted by the courts of other countries. This part of the work, which involves analysis of both the Brussels I Regulation and the so-called traditional rules, includes chapters dealing with jurisdiction in personam and in rem, anti-suit injunctions and provisional measures. The work's second part focuses on the rules which determine whether English law or the law of another country is applicable to a given situation. The part includes a discussion of choice of law in contract and tort, with particular attention being devoted to the recent Rome I and Rome II Regulations. The third part of the work includes three new chapters on international aspects of insolvency (in particular, under the EC Insolvency Regulation) and the final part focuses on an analysis of legal aspects of international commercial arbitration. In particular, this part examines: the powers of the English courts to support or supervise an arbitration; the effect of an arbitration agreement on the jurisdiction of the English courts; the law which governs an arbitration agreement and the parties' dispute; and the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitration awards.
Download or read book Commercial Disputes written by Barış Soyer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-12-16 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remedies are vital in commercial litigation. Additionally, in commercial law, parties are usually free to choose the forum and law that will govern their disputes. This book aims to shine the spotlight on these issues and look to several new trends and developments emerging on procedural matters relating to dispute resolution. The discussions range freely over national, international, and EU legal dimensions, and the book also comes at an opportune time, with the post-Brexit jurisdiction landscape becoming more definable. This edited volume presents contributions from highly expert and experienced academics and practitioners, collectively examining a broad range of areas relating to the complex and time-consuming issues of resolution and jurisdiction of commercial disputes. The book is divided into three parts: arbitration and ADR, jurisdiction and procedure, and choice of law. Key topics featured include summary procedures in London Maritime Arbitration, reformation of the Arbitration Act, challenges to jurisdiction, stay of proceedings, anti-suit injunctions, the EU-UK judicial space post-Brexit, the application of AI to commercial disputes, and choice of law agreements. Written for lawyers and administrators not only in England and Wales but worldwide - especially Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India – the book is also valuable for specialist law libraries in Europe and the US, some specialist maritime law firms in the US, and some university libraries where maritime and shipping law are taught as specialist subjects.
Download or read book Cases and Materials on Commercial Arbitration written by Thomas E. Carbonneau and published by Juris Juris. This book was released on 1997 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cases & Materials covers all essential aspects of the arbitral process & are divided between commentary & texts. The book accomplishes both an informational & analytical function. Cases & statutes are followed by extensive & rigorous evaluations. While focusing principally on domestic arbitration within the United States, the work does not ignore either the cross-border or the comparative dimensions of arbitral dispute resolution. The Materials address a number of procedural questions that have arisen in practice & emphasize, as critically important, the drafting of arbitration agreements & counseling on matters of arbitration. "The book begins with considerable attention to the theoretical basis for enforcing arbitration agreements & awards. In this connection, Carbonneau respects & explains the vital distinction between labor & commercial disputes better than many judges & scholars have done. Two chapters are spent on the important issue of how federalism affects arbitration law. An excellent chapter on arbitration & statutory rights takes the reader through the doctrinal evolution of "subject matter arbitrability," both in the traditional problems areas of securities & antitrust, & in the more current hot topics of age & sex discrimination in employment. Four chapters deal with international aspects of arbitration, including a look at arbitration law in several non-American jurisdictions, & an examination of treaty-created arbitration under NAFTA, the Iran Claims Tribunal & the Iraqi War Claims Commissions. The book's great strengths are twofold. First, its encyclopedic completeness misses no major case. Second, Professor Carbonneau devotes an almost loving attention to detail in his clear introductions & carefully weighed analytic comments & questions. With grace, elegance & style, Professor Carbonneau has put together a superb work on American arbitration law. His materials would be a bargain even at twice the price." William W. Park Professor of Law, Boston University Counsel, Ropes & Gray, Boston Vice President, London Court of International Arbitration "Tom Carbonneau's 'Cases & Materials on Commercial Arbitration' is a major contribution to the literature on arbitration. ... it contains not only excerpts of the most important U.S. cases on arbitration but also extensive commentary & analysis that will prove invaluable to practitioners, policy makers & academics who are already familiar with the field. The documentary supplement will also prove immensely valuable, particularly to those who are interested in international arbitration practice. Jean R.

Download or read book Employment and Commercial Disputes The International Aspects written by Paul Nicholls, KC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the conflict of laws dealing with jurisdiction and applicable law in commercial and employment-related cases enabling practitioners to assimilate and understand the rules which apply in cases that have an international element. Commercial claims have long had an international element and the same is increasingly true for employment cases in particular in employee competition or team moves where, for example, a defendant in country A is orchestrating a team move in country B. This book assists practitioners by having the law relevant to these sorts of cases in one place in an easy to understand manner. It states the law applicable in particular to both commercial and employment cases. This covers both High Court claims but also, in its employment section, statutory claims involving employees who work abroad or otherwise may be said to lack a connection with the UK. It uses examples to augment the statement of the law and offers tactical and strategic guidance based on real cases. As well as providing a guide to the law, comment on the strategy and tactics underlying claims and defences are provided and examples of how these matters can and do play out in practice are given.
Download or read book Between Interests and Law written by Thomas Hale and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We could not have a global economy without a system to resolve commercial disputes across borders, but the international regime that performs this key role bears little resemblance to other institutions underpinning the global economy. A hybrid of private arbitral institutions, international treaties, and domestic laws and courts, the regime for commercial dispute resolution shows that effective transborder institutions can take a variety of forms. This book offers the first comprehensive social scientific account of this surprisingly effective regime. It maps and explains its evolution since the Industrial Revolution, both at the global level and in the United States, Argentina, and China. The book shows how both political economy approaches and socio-legal theories have shaped institutional outcomes. While economic interests have been the chief determinants, legal processes have played a key role in shaping the form institutions take. The regime for commercial dispute resolution therefore remains between interests and law.
