Lauren Lindsay’s Post

Bankside Chambers barristers Anna Kirk and Lauren Lindsay, were invited to co-write the New Zealand chapter in Juris Publishing's ‘Arbitration in Asia’, edited by Michael Moser and Christopher To:  https://lnkd.in/gicvSine.    The chapter considers the law and practice of arbitration in Aotearoa New Zealand, with a careful review of the Arbitration Act and related jurisprudence. New Zealand is increasingly cementing its reputation as an arbitration-friendly Model Law jurisdiction. Definitely worth a read.    #Banksidebarristers #legalpublications #arbitration

Arbitration is one of the mechanisms on the Alternative Dispute Resolution(ADR) continuum. These mechanisms are often referred to as an alternative to litigation or resorting to the courts. Does it then mean that the courts have no role to play in the arbitration process? If they do, what’s the extent to which they can get involved in this process? I’ve written an article about the role of courts in arbitration giving an international perspective steeped in the UNCITRAL model law and the domestic Ugandan perspective based on the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 2000 which governs arbitation in Uganda.

Last week, Delos Dispute Resolution hosted its Journal Series with a spotlight on Hong Kong, exploring the implications of HKCFA decision in C v D. Amidst a flurry of write ups on C v D, Delos's "A case in time" for Hong Kong stands out as it gathered: 👉 Rimsky Yuen SC - a prominent Hong Kong arbitrator and former Secretary for Justice - who discussed the C v D appellate decision's implications on arbitrator practice; 👉 Simon Chapman KC - a talented solicitor-advocate who argued C v D before the HKCFA - in setting out the basis for the court's decision and how the case was argued; 👉 Queenie Lau - a dynamic Hong Kong barrister with a flourishing arbitration practice - who discussed C v D's implications for counsel practice and specifically on how the arbitration agreements are to be drafted in light of the HKCFA decision; 👉 moderated by insightful and intuitive Jonathan Lim who authored a seminal piece on the US Supreme Court's decision in BG v Argentina in deciding a similar issue; and yours truly covered the C v D implications for treaty-based disputes seated in Hong Kong. There, very helpfully, the HKCFA offered guidelines on how the Hong Kong judiciary is likely to entertain treaty-based pre-arbitration requirements (such as the cooling off periods and the local litigation requirements). The HKCFA judgment is available in the link below, with Justice Gummow and Justice Ribeiro distinguishing between commercial arbitration and treaty-based arbitration: https://lnkd.in/guqPjBCS

All arbitration rules contain provisions on tribunal formation, with only slight differences in wording. However, the actual practice of tribunal formation varies significantly. Ensuring parties’ rights to select arbitrators, maintaining the professionalism of tribunal formation, and reconciling efficiency with fairness in complex cases are all issues that need to be addressed in practice.     So, how does the formation of a tribunal transpire at the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre?    The business law digest is complied by Ling YANG FCIArb at Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre.   Find latest legal industry news on China Business Law Journal.    👉 Join our membership: https://lnkd.in/gBZGctHN     #cblj #china #hongkong #arbitration #disputeresolution #inhousecounsel #business #legalprofession #lawfirms #lawyers #legal #law #lawdotasia
