This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - International Politics and Country Analyses, grade: 1,7, , language: English, abstract: This thesis explores the success and enduring relevance of the International Bar Association (IBA) Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration. Interestingly enough, while the IBA Rules suggested a very well-developed regime for the taking of documentary evidence, most of the focus of arbitration scholars was mainly about its notable mechanic that grant parties the possibility of obtaining documents from the adverse party. While it is understood why such sophisticated mechanic would attract the attention of scholars, it is still crucial to acknowledge that such mechanic is just one facet of a comprehensive and multifaceted system. Accordingly, the thesis attempted to englobe the whole regime of the taking of documentary evidence under the IBA Rule while following at the same time a structural approach that respect the natural progression the arbitration procedure and adheres to the methodological reasoning suggested by the IBA Rules. With that being said, the dissertation starts by emphasizing the particular problem that international arbitration poses in regards to the production of documentary evidence as it involves parties, counsels and arbitrators coming from different legal systems. In this sense, the IBA Rules attempted to provide mechanics that combines the best of both words and potentially may satisfy all the participants whatever is their origins. Such unique approach can be seen through 2 main level: The ethical practices that should be adhered to by the different participants and the investigation practices within the arbitration proceedings Even though the mechanics of presenting and collecting evidence is arguably the most important task that parties are expected to perform, Without the right approach to the appraisal of documentary evidence, such contribution would inevitably be redundant. In this context, it seems that the IBA Rules followed a cautious approach by conferring significant discretion to the arbitral tribunal when it comes to the appraisal of documentary evidence. The term "appraisal" in this context was intended to encompass both the admissibility and assessment of evidence, as addressed in the IBA Rules. However, it is important to note that these two phases possess distinct characteristics, despite often being conducted simultaneously by arbitrators in practice. Nevertheless, for the sake of clarity and methodological analysis, the thesis attempted dug in depth in each phase independently.

Download or read book Document Production in International Arbitration written by Reto Marghitola and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because document production can discover written evidence that would otherwise not be available, it is often the key to winning a case. However, document production proceedings can be a costly and time-consuming exercise, and arbitral awards in particular are often challenged on grounds that relate to document production orders. The task of balancing the conflicting interests of the parties in this context is a major responsibility of arbitral tribunals. This book's analysis focuses on whether there exist legal principles on which arbitrators should establish rules of document production in both civil law and common law countries, and shows how international arbitration is affected. The author examines the relevant discretion of arbitral tribunals under US, English, Swiss, German, and Austrian law, and under nine of the most important sets of institutional rules, including the ICC Rules, the LCIA Rules, and the Swiss Rules. The presentation mines case law and legal literature for concepts based on the common expectations of the parties, the legitimate expectations of a party, the duty to balance different procedural expectations of the parties, the presumed intent of the parties, the underlying hypothetical bargain, implied terms, and the arbitrators' discretion. Among the topics and issues investigated are the following: - procedural rules on document production versus procedural flexibility; - how arbitral tribunals can modify the IBA Rules on a case-by-case basis; - discretion granted by legislation in each country covered; - electronic document production; - how to deal with privilege and confidentiality objections; - how to formulate or answer document production requests; - effective sanctions in case of non-compliance with procedural orders of the arbitral tribunal; - what grounds for annulment and non-enforcement a losing party can raise in what countries. Perhaps the greatest benefit of the book is the inclusion of model clauses, commensurate with both civil law and common law expectations. The author explicates the advantages and inconveniences of each model clause, and clarifies the influence of each clause on the efficiency of the proceedings and the enforcement risk. For practitioners, the book not only gives counsel a thorough overview of possible arguments for and against document production, but also assists arbitrators find a way through the jungle of opinions on the interpretation of the IBA Rules. Legal academics will appreciate the author's deeply informed analysis and commentary and the book's contribution to increasing the predictability of arbitral decisions on document production and showing how issues in dispute can be narrowed by tailor-made rules, thus helping to raise the efficiency and reduce the costs of arbitral proceedings.
Download or read book The Function of Equity in International Law written by Catharine Titi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic and comprehensive study of the legal concept of equity as it operates in contemporary international law. A principle with a long pedigree, equity has been present in legal thought and in municipal legal systems since antiquity. Introduced in international legal decisions through claims commissions and arbitral tribunals, equity became progressively part and parcel of the international law mainstream. From international cultural heritage law to the law on climate change, from maritime boundary delimitations to decisions on security for costs in investment arbitration, the relevance of equity is more far-reaching than has previously been acknowledged. In contrast with earlier studies on the topic, this book is informed by a body of judicial and arbitral case law that has never been so substantial and varied. It also draws extensively on the prolific case law of investment tribunals, gaining insights from a valuable source that is typically overlooked in public international law scholarship. As the importance of international law increases, covering continuously new domains, the value of equity increases with it. It is this new equity in the international law of the 21st century that this book explores.
Download or read book Soft Law in International Arbitration written by Lawrence W. Newman and published by Juris Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Présentation de l'éditeur : "In recent years, a growing body of provisions called "protocols," "guidelines," "checklists" or even "rules" has emerged in international arbitration. Unlike national or international law, or institutional arbitral rules, these provisions are not "mandatory" for arbitration participants. They range from provisions that can be incorporated into the parties' agreement to arbitrate to suggestions as to the best practices that arbitrators and other arbitration participants may choose to follow. These materials are often collectively referred to as "soft law." Soft Law in International Arbitration provides a guide to what the editors consider to be the most useful of such materials. The book organizes these materials into five categories, each introduced with commentary by a prominent member of the international arbitration community. Thus, the eighteen documents contained in this book can be regarded as helping to fill in the spaces that substantive law and arbitration rules have intentionally left blank. Soft Law in International Arbitration is an indispensable commentary for practitioners and academics alike."
