Read More INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION ROUNDTABLE | Over the last decade the approach taken by commercial parties towards dispute resolution has changed.

Read More Download 3 | Separate Opinions in International Courts and Tribunals Read More International Arbitration News UK | The English Commercial Court rejected an application for an anti-suit injunction ASI, to restrain proceedings brought in breach of an arbitration agreement. The agreement provided for the arbitration to be seated in Paris and the court held that; given French law does not recognise ASIs, it was not appropriate for the English court to intervene in support of the arbitration. The judgement highlights that parties should ensure that arbitrations are seated in England or another jurisdiction that issues ASIs in order to ease the risk that a party may commence parallel proceedings in a state court. When drafting arbitration agreements, it is suggest that parties choose an arbitral seat such as England where the courts issue ASIs.
