Use of commercial arbitration and recent trends Commercial arbitration remains the preferred dispute resolution procedure for international transactions. The full implications of Brexit for arbitration in the UK are being closely monitored by practitioners, but it does not appear to have had any immediate impact. In fact, Queen Mary University of London's 2018 International Arbitration Survey (Survey) has reported a predominant view that the use of London as a seat is unlikely to be affected. This is unsurprising, given that the primary attractions of London should remain the same, namely the reliability of the neutrality and impartiality of the English judiciary; the support for the arbitral process offered by English courts and the Arbitration Act 1996; and the UK's position as a signatory to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958 (New York Convention).

    17th ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION ACT 1996 BIICL AND SIMMONS & SIMMONS CONFERENCE ON 26/3/2019 “THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN JUDGES AND ARBITRATORS” KEYNOTE LECTURE BY SIR RUPERT JACKSON 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This conference. This is a timely conference. The importance of international arbitration to successful international trade has been reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in Taurus Petroleum Ltd v State Oil Marketing Co [2017] UKSC 64 at [54]. London is a major centre of international arbitration, supported by the Commercial Court within the framework of the Arbitration Act 1996 (‘the 1996 Act’). The present conference will focus on recent developments in arbitration law, with particular reference to challenges under ss. 67 and 68 of the 1996 Act. 1.2 This lecture. In this lecture I will go off piste for a few minutes to talk about s.45 of the 1996 Act, before turning to the core issues under discussion today. 2. SECTION 45 OF THE 1996 ACT AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COURTS AND ARBITRATORS 2.1 Section 45. The recent Commercial Court decision Goodwood Investments Holdings Inc v Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions AG [2018] EWHC 1056 (Comm) has focused attention on a little used provision of the Arbitration Act 1996, namely s. 45. That section provides: “(1)Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the court may on the application of a party to arbitral proceedings (upon notice to the other parties) determine any question of law arising in the course of the proceedings which the court is satisfied substantially affects the rights of one or more of the parties.

  • Judicial Control of Arbitral Awards in the United Kingdom
    23 Judicial Control of Arbitral Awards in the United Kingdom Andrew Tetley* 1introduction This book provides a forum for discussion of current issues and debates in international arbitration, covering the independence and impartiality of arbitrators; how conflicting interests may affect the conduct of arbitrators; the enforcement of arbitral awards, principally under grounds of procedural irregularity; how to resolve issues of misconduct by arbitrators during proceedings; and the current judicial interpretation of arbitration clauses. In England, the key legislation which governs these issues is contained in the Arbitration Act 1996 (the Arbitration Act). Also influential in shaping these issues are the procedural rules of specific arbitral insti- tutions, and the guidance published by organisations such as the International Bar Association (the IBA). 2 vacating commercial arbitration awards 2.1 Independence and Impartiality of International Arbitrators It is of fundamental importance that international arbitrators are both independent and impar- tial. It is a human right that ‘everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable 1 time by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law’. Arbitration, although not entirely compatible with such description, is a consensual process which has been held to fall 2 within this right. All arbitral tribunals have a duty to act fairly and impartially between the 3 parties while conducting the arbitration proceedings and while exercising any of its powers 4 including in relation to procedure and evidence. 5 Independence is easier to demonstrate than impartiality. There are typically objective indicators of proximity or reliance by an arbitrator on a particular party or group.

  • The Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal: the Evolution and Explanation of Changes to the Tribunal’S Statute
    Chapter 10 The Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal: The Evolution and Explanation of Changes to the Tribunal’s Statute Alice Lacourt* Abstract This chapter seeks to interrogate the rationale for the establishment of the Common- wealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (csat) and examine how the Statute creating the Tribunal has evolved. Several applicants in the early cases before csat brought parallel litigation before the domestic courts of the United Kingdom. Arguments based on lo- cal law acted as a counterpoint to developments in the case law and Statute of csat. The resulting csat decisions delineated key principles on human rights and access to justice, which are still relevant today. csat—and the nature of the applications before it—continues to evolve, and this chapter concludes by identifying some lessons learned so far and what to expect going forward. 1 Introduction This chapter is divided into six sections. In this first section, the domestic law framework of the Commonwealth Secretariat is considered, together with identifying the present-day principle features of the Commonwealth Secre- tariat Arbitral Tribunal (csat), as well as the wider context. Sections 2 and 3 provide a brief history of the Commonwealth Secretariat and overview of its organizational structure and governance, respectively. Section 4 examines how employment-related disputes were initially resolved at the Common- wealth Secretariat and the factors that led up to and informed the establish- ment of csat. Section 5 then analyses how the early cases before the Tribunal in fact shaped csat, together with the evolving roles of the Board of Governors * Alice Lacourt, Legal Counsel, Commonwealth Secretariat, [email protected].
