Arbitration in CIS Countries
Author: Association for International Arbitration
Publisher: Maklu
ISBN: 9046605388
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a loose association of States whose participating countries are former Soviet republics. Although the CIS has few supranational powers, it is aimed at being more than a purely symbolic organization, nominally possessing coordinating powers in the realm of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. Some of the members of the CIS have established the Eurasian Economic Community with the aim of creating a full-fledged common market. This book analyzes and discusses the current trend of arbitral practice in CIS countries and deals in detail with various facets which promote and inhibit arbitration. The text has been authored by highly proficient arbitration professionals who address the intricacies associated with arbitration practice in CIS countries. It considers the general policy of CIS countries towards arbitration by providing recommendations to non-CIS parties choosing arbitration in CIS countries and paying special attention to the general policy towards arbitration in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Further, the book focuses on specific issues in arbitration in CIS countries, namely arbitrability of corporate and real estate disputes, bribery, and arbitration in Russia; interim measures at the stage of recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards in Ukraine; and recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards annulled in the forum state (with reference to Russia). Finally, it elaborates on sector-specific arbitration, namely investment disputes at the SCC involving parties from CIS countries, arbitration in the energy sector involving parties from CIS countries, and CIS experience in the WTO dispute settlement. It will be regarded as a unique guide to arbitration in CIS countries and is a real must for everyone working with CIS countries.

International Arbitration in the Energy Sector
Author: Maxi Scherer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192528319
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Disputes in the energy and natural resources sector are at the heart of international arbitration. With more arbitrations arising in the international energy sector than in any other sector, it is not surprising that the highest valued awards in the history of arbitration come from energy-related arbitrations. Energy disputes often involve complex and controversial issues relating to security, sovereignty, and public welfare. International Arbitration in the Energy Sector puts international energy disputes into a global context, providing broad coverage of different forms and systems of dispute resolution across both renewable and non-renewable sectors. With contributions from leading arbitrators, academics, and industry experts from across the globe, the twenty chapters in the book enable readers to compare the approaches to, and learnings from, energy arbitrations across various legal systems and geographic regions. After outlining the international energy arbitration legal framework in Part I, the text delves into a detailed analysis of the problems which regularly arise in practice. These include, among other things, commercial disputes in Part II (e.g. over the upstream oil sector and long-term gas supply contracts), investor-state disputes in Part III (e.g. under the Energy Charter Treaty), and public international law disputes in Part IV (e.g. concerning international boundaries and the distribution of natural resources). Alongside recent developments in the international energy sector, attention is given to climate and sustainable development disputes, which raise important questions about enforcing sustainability objectives on individuals, corporations, and states. Backed by analyses of arbitral awards, national court and international tribunal decisions, treaties, and other international legal instruments, as well as current events and news in the energy industry, this text offers a unique contribution to international energy literature and provides insightful commentary on the prevalent issues in the field. It is essential reading for any practitioner or researcher in the energy and natural resources sector.

International Arbitration in Sweden
Author: Annette Magnusson
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403525622
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 557
Book Description
Sweden is one of a handful of countries where the international arbitral process has reached a stage where the jurisprudence is replete with instances involving no local parties at all. In this context of credible neutrality, the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) has emerged as a leading global arbitral institution. Whether the matter at issue is a business transaction dispute or a politicized conflict involving obdurate parties, the richness of its body of decided cases manifests the SCC’s authority and reliability throughout the converging world of international arbitration. The present book, written by sixteen eminent practitioners and now in its second edition, provides a practical guide to international arbitration in Sweden, whether ad hoc or institutional. Among the many elements of practice and procedure detailed are the following: appointment, challenge, removal, and compensation of arbitrators; procedural efficiency and costs; use of international legal sources such as IBA guidelines; choice of law by parties; SCC rules and procedures; multiparty arbitrations – joinder, intervention, consolidation; investment treaty arbitration; confidentiality; documentary evidence, witnesses, and experts; grounds for setting aside; party succession; Swedish court review of the arbitrator’s jurisdiction; and appeal of arbitrators’ compensation. In addition, readers will be exposed to a trove of pertinent references to important decisions that have, in recent decades, been generated by the stream of major international arbitrations conducted in Sweden. Disputing parties wishing to know what will happen when their case is brought to Sweden for arbitration will find no clearer or more thorough guide. This book is an incomparable source for anyone called upon to act as arbitrator or counsel, or in any other capacity, in international arbitration in Sweden.
