Keynote address: Recent trends in arbitration in the CEE-region.
CIArb Costs of International Arbitration Survey. Participate and obtain the results of the Survey!
The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators commenced collection of information on the costs of international commercial arbitration proceedings. The aim is to gather data which will inform parties, legal representatives, and arbitrators about the overall costs of international commercial arbitration. The survey is also gathering data about how those costs are made up, the allocation of costs by arbitrators and the extent to which these may depend upon the nature of the dispute, the seat of arbitration, the amount in dispute, the composition of the arbitral tribunal and the costs incurred prior to, and during, the arbitration.
The findings will be analyzed and disseminated through a report and a conference, organized by CIArb, which will take place on 27 – 28 September 2011 in London, England.
Guerrilla Tactics in International Arbitration and Litigation
Do you want to have a detailed knowledge about what the Guerrilla Tactics in international arbitration and litigation mean and what are counsel’s and the arbitral tribunal’s tools to deal with those? Where does poor behavior end and guerrilla tactics start? How do arbitral institutions view the issue of Guerrilla Tactics? How may arbitral institutions and state courts support fighting Guerrilla Practices? How much state court support is desirable?
All or Nothing? – A Debate on the Production of Documents
On 15 September 2010, Young Arbitrators Stockholm (YAS) will host a seminar together with ICDR Y&I, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution Young & International.
The program will take the form of a debate, titled "All or Nothing - A Debate on the production of documents", and will be moderated by Patricia Shaughnessy (Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law, Sweden) and Mark Kantor (Georgetown University, Washington, USA).
Summary Proceedings in International Arbitration
The separation of the state courts’ and of the arbitrators’ respective spheres of competence, which is uncontroversial with respect to the merits of a dispute, is much more problematic in relation to summary proceedings, i.e. proceedings aimed at obtaining a rapid decision on one or more aspects of dispute. Whether, and to what extent, arbitral tribunals and state courts have jurisdiction to hear applications for summary judgments in the presence of an arbitration agreement on merits of the dispute, is one of the major problems of international arbitration, and the solutions adopted differ significantly from one jurisdiction to another.

Arbitration: The End of the Golden Age?
By almost any account, arbitration has enjoyed its golden age in the last decades. International commercial arbitrations have soared, arbitrations under bilateral investment treaties have grown, and arbitration of purely domestic matters, especially in the United States, has received increased acceptance. Yet several recent signs suggest that the sun has begun to set on that golden age. Courts have erected some previously unseen barriers to international arbitration. Criticism has been leveled at various aspects of traditional Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and nations have withdrawn from ICSID. And in the United States, Congress currently is considering the most sweeping reform of the Federal Arbitration Act since its enactment.
