MEDIATION - INSTRUMENTAL IN SOLVING DISPUTES? | It is important to note that using Mediation is a choice that puts the parties in full control. It is not and should never be seen, as a 'soft option'. It is a tried and tested process which can provide a creative roadmap to solve disputes within an amicable and open environment. Read More INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE | Arbitration remains strong and widely accepted as a means of resolving international commercial disputes. Potentially, no other process offers such efficient, impartial, multilateral and clear business mechanism for complex disputes. View the insights from our FPD International Arbitration Panellists.

There can be benefits associated with taking a dispute through the traditional litigation route but very often the reasons for doing so are flawed and do not lead to the best outcome." Read More UK | An interesting read regarding section 45 of the Arbitration Act 1996 (Determination of preliminary point of law) - The English Court of Appeal has recently decided a key question of #shippinglaw. The Court of Appeal’s decision on the nature of demurrage is important in arbitration terms, not only because section 45 applications are rare, but also because section 45 itself provides limited grounds of appeal to the Court of Appeal from the decision of the High Court on the substantive point of law. Read More International | An interesting read - the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council considered a challenge to an arbitral award on the basis of “serious irregularity”, under s.90 of the Bahamas Arbitration Act 2009 (the Act). "The Privy Council found...The test of serious irregularity imposes a “high threshold” or “high hurdle”. In order to cross that threshold, the applicant needs to show both that there has been an irregularity of one or more of the kinds listed in s.90 and that that has caused or will cause substantial injustice to the applicant..."
