The court conceded that this was no doubt an exceptional length of extension to grant but described it as ‘an exceptional decision to meet the justice of an exceptional case’. Read More International | An interesting read - In Kabab-Ji SAL (Lebanon) v Kout Food Group (Kuwait), the Supreme Court ("UKSC") has provided further confirmation of the approach to determining the law that will govern an arbitration agreement. The Commercial Court, the Court of Appeal and now the Supreme Court have all found in Kout's favour. As the Supreme Court indicated in Enka v Chubb [2020] UKSC 38, where the parties have agreed that English law shall govern the main contract, this will normally indicate that the parties intended English law to also apply to the arbitration agreement.

The survey provides a close analysis of over 500 arbitration-related cases. The survey provides a snapshot of the trend of cases being brought before the English courts. It does reinforces the view that England is an arbitration-friendly jurisdiction with a judiciary well-versed in dealing with arbitration issues. "...it seems to me that the statistics demonstrate that the arbitral regime created by the Arbitration Act 1996 has provided - and continues to provide – the perfect interface between, on the one hand, the English courts and the large number of arbitrations with London seats. I have no doubt that it is one of the reasons why London continues to be the pre-eminent choice of seat for international arbitration." Read More Panels | FPD Digital Profiles now include the specific 'Panels' our members have joined.

And More?", which addresses the issue of arbitral decision-making with particular regard to the unconscious, cognitive and cultural limits that, according to some, might influence the activity of international arbitrators and, more generally, with respect to the importance, for arbitration, of the most recent developments in the field of neuroscience."

The Supreme Court | Updates 2021
"The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the appeal on all issues. It holds: (i) that the arbitration agreement is governed by English law (the “choice of law issue”); (ii) that in English law there is no real prospect of a court finding that KFG became a party to the arbitration agreement (the “party issue”); and (iii) that, procedurally, the Court of Appeal was right to give summary judgment refusing recognition and enforcement of the award (the “procedural issue”)." |
