INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION ROUNDTABLE | Over the last decade the approach taken by commercial parties towards dispute resolution has changed. While traditional forms of dispute resolution remain popular, commercial parties are increasingly looking to alternative forms of dispute resolution mechanisms to find methods of dispute resolution which better suit their commercial needs and deliver efficient and effective results. But does mediation provide the answer? 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. Please note: The 'INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION ROUNDTABLE' publication includes 2 CPD points for all Prime Dispute members. Read More

WOMEN IN INTERNATIONAL LAW & ADR ROUNDTABLE | As the under-representation of senior women within the legal and ADR community remains a critical issue in the field, Prime Dispute fellows discuss the steps the community needs to take to overcome this lack of diversity, the development of the role of women in the profession and future challenges that will be faced by the next generation of female practitioners. Read More

International Arbitration News

UK | In a judgment delivered in the Commercial Court, Mr Justice Andrew Baker dismissed a challenge to an award under section 68 of the Arbitration Act 1996. Read More
UK | An interesting read - The Court of Appeal of England & Wales has set aside a stay to allow the English court to determine the validity of an arbitration clause - in respect of a contract between an English consumer and a foreign company. The stay had been imposed by the #CommercialCourt under s9 of the #ArbitrationAct1996 in favour of #arbitral proceedings in New York. The Court of Appeal considered that the case had important implications for consumers and it was therefore pivotal that the issues were considered and ruled upon in public in an English court rather than privately in a US arbitration.
