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.

In this book, a diverse range of practitioners chart this development with detailed consideration of the challenges and opportunities for the future of international arbitration in England. The topics chosen often reflect and explore preoccupations of our times, including such aspects of arbitral practice as the following: challenges to arbitrators, with particular attention to the Supreme Court’s findings in Halliburton v. Chubb; virtual hearings; diversity in international arbitration; climate change arbitration; ‘green arbitration’ practices; developing jurisprudence regarding enjoining foreign states in English proceedings; recovery of in-house costs in English-seated international arbitrations; overlapping sanctions regimes and their application to arbitral disputes in England; and the role and future of third-party funding.
