A conference presented by the IBA Arbitration Committee and
supported by the IBA Latin American Regional Forum and the Bogota
Chamber of Commerce
The manner in which the Arbitral Tribunal deliberates and prepares
its award has so far drawn little attention. This conference will focus
on topics including:
- How and to what extent arbitrators should express reasons in their awards
- When a dissent is justified and how dissents may affect enforcement
- Whether arbitrators take too long to render awards and the manner in which the deliberation process can be streamlined
- To what extent bifurcation results in tribunals readdressing issues thought resolved
- The role of arbitral secretaries in the making of the award
- To what extent the considerations that bear upon these issues differ as between commercial and investment cases
- Whether and to what extent arbitrators should make compromises to reach unanimity
The questions raised by this conference arise in almost every
arbitration, but they are rarely addressed in international arbitration
conferences. It is time to re-examine our assumptions about the making
of the award.
Who should attend?
Arbitrators, litigators, judges, government officials and all those involved in dispute resolution.
