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. Please note: The 'INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE' publication includes 2 CPD points for all Prime Dispute members. Read More BUILDING STRONGER ECONOMIES AND REMOVING THE BARRIERS FOR THE POOREST WITHIN SOCIETY Our work supports individuals before and after they enter the commercial world and builds economies, by supporting people, businesses and governments through early understanding of ADR and development programmes.

Interesting read - The High Court continued antisuit injunctions restraining the defendant from pursuing proceedings in Canada in breach of an exclusive jurisdiction clause and a valid #arbitration agreement. Wood Groups insurer Chubb’s point was that the insurance policy contained an exclusive jurisdiction clause in favour of the English court and sought an injunction to prevent Wood Group commencing proceedings in Canada which would breach that provision. Mr JUSTICE JACOBS considered that there was a high degree of probability that the policy did contain an exclusive jurisdiction clause in favour of the English court and that there had been no failure in its duty of full & frank disclosure when it initially obtained the injunction on an ex-parte basis. Read More UK | NWA v NVF [2021] EWHC 2666 (Comm) - An interesting read in which the Commercial Court, THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE CALVER, has confirmed that the failure of a party to comply with a contractual term requiring #mediation before a dispute is referred to #arbitration is not a matter which affects the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal and rather is only relevant to the admissibility of the dispute.

Read More Judgement | Toppan Holdings Ltd v Simply Construct (UK) LLP - An interesting read of whether collateral warranties fall under the definition of a construction contract under the #HGCRA. The TCC judge agreed with Simply Construct. He said "where the works have already been completed, and as in this case even latent defects have been remedied by other contractors, a construction contract is unlikely to arise and there will be no right to adjudicate". Therefore, in order to pursue Simply Construct, Abbey would need to start fresh proceedings in court. Read More Early neutral Evaluations News Overview | What is ENE?

(Between 1st-31st October 2021*) UK | This Call for Evidence is seeking evidence on Dispute Resolution from all interested parties, the judiciary, legal profession, mediators and other dispute resolvers, academics, the advice sector, court users. Read More Expert Witness | Good Law Project Ltd, R (On the Application Of) v Secretary of State for Health and Social Care [2021] EWHC 2595 - An interesting read in which #MrJusticeFraser issued a clear and stark warning that expert evidence has to comply with the rules of court. Mr Justice Fraser was not prepared to allow HSC to rely upon either the expert report because they both failed to comply with the Civil Procedure Rules and with the principles. This includes an expert setting out the source of their information and both sides having access to the same information. “….the court has little sympathy with any litigant who simply ignores the rules in this way. Endless opportunities for compliance are not in accordance with the overriding objective. These requirements are not optional extras, only to be complied with by a litigant and their expert if the court states in a specific case that they are to apply. They apply in all cases.” Read More Judgements | In John Doyle Construction Ltd (In Liquidation) v Erith Contractors Ltd [2021] EWCA Civ 1452 (07/10/2021) - An interesting read in which the Court of Appeal has upheld Fraser J's judgment in John Doyle Ltd. The judgement provides useful guidance to parties about appropriate security arrangements in #adjudication enforcement proceedings where the claimant is insolvent. It has also considered if an insolvent company is ever entitled to summary judgment to enforce an adjudicator's decision.

Read More Panels | FPD Digital Profiles now include the specific 'Panels' our members have joined. Prime Dispute's panels consist of senior and experienced practitioners who are trained arbitrators, mediators and dispute avoidance/resolution specialists*. All individuals who are members of one of these panels have demonstrated to Prime Dispute, that they have a suitable level of experience and knowledge in their discipline. Read More Equality | Lady Hale is an inspirational figure and her insights have helped us shape our vision for equality! Spider Woman was released in all formats this week. "...A lifelong smasher of glass-ceilings, who took as her motto 'women are equal to everything'....As 'a little girl from a little school in a little village in North Yorkshire', she only went into the law because her headteacher told her she wasn't clever enough to study history. She became the most senior judge in the country, but it was an unconventional path to the top" Read More Ireland | Quadro Services Ltd v Creagh Concrete Products Ltd [2021] EWHC 2637 (TCC) - An interesting read in which Quadro sought summary enforcement of an adjudication decision against Creagh, who said that the adjudicator had no jurisdiction because three disputes were referred to them. An adjudicator will not have jurisdiction to adjudicate more than one dispute in a single adjudication. Her Honour #Judge #SarahWatson noted that, if Creagh’s argument was correct, then "...the result would be that the parties would be put to the very significant cost and inconvenience of numerous separate adjudications to recover a single claimed balance under a single contract. That would be contrary to the policy underlying the adjudication process of efficient, swift and cost-effective resolution of disputes on an interim basis."

The funding will cover the funded party's legal costs and expenses incurred in the arbitration; the funder may also agree to pay the other side's costs if the funded party is so ordered thereby providing security for the opponent's costs.
