Book excerpt: Although domestic law plays an important role in investment treaty arbitration, this issue is little discussed or analysed. When should investment treaty tribunals engage with domestic law? How should investment treaty tribunals resolve matters of domestic law? These questions have significant ramifications for both the legitimacy of the investment treaty system and the arbitral mandate of the tribunal members. Drawing on case law, international law principles, and comparative analysis, this book addresses these important issues. Part I of the book examines three areas of investment law-the 'fair and equitable treatment' standard, expropriation, and remedies-in which the role of domestic law has so far been under-appreciated. It argues that tribunals are justified in drawing on domestic law as a relevant factor in their rulings on these three issues. Part II of the book examines how questions of domestic law should be resolved in investment arbitration. It proposes a normative framework for use by tribunals in ascertaining the contents of the domestic law to be applied. It then considers counter-arguments, exemptions, and exceptions to applying this framework, and it evaluates how tribunals have ruled on questions of domestic law to date. Investment treaty arbitration has endured much criticism in recent times, partly over fears of its encroachment on sovereignty. The book ultimately contends that closer attention by tribunals to one of the principal expressions of a state's sovereignty-the elaboration of its domestic law-will reduce criticism of the field.

Book excerpt: Autonomous Versus Domestic Concepts under the New York Convention is a unique book that examines the New York Convention intending to identify the boundaries between autonomous and domestic concepts. The 1958 New York Convention is universally acclaimed as one of the essential instruments of international commercial arbitration. Although the Convention ensures that contracting States cannot justify failure to comply with their treaty obligations by reference to domestic law, the courts of different contracting States apply the Convention differently. This diverging case law arises from uncertainty as to whether certain concepts employed in the Convention must be construed autonomously or in light of domestic law. A diverse group of distinguished scholars, including some of the world’s leading voices on arbitration, have provided insightful contributions for this book which are sure to significantly add to arbitral practice and jurisprudence in the Convention’s more than 160 contracting States.

Book excerpt: International Arbitration Law Library # 61 The 1958 New York Convention is universally acclaimed as one of the most important instruments on international commercial arbitration. Although the Convention ensures that contracting States cannot justify failure to comply with their treaty obligations by reference to domestic law, the courts of different contracting States apply the Convention differently. This diverging case law arises from uncertainty as to whether certain concepts employed in the Convention must be construed autonomously or in light of domestic law. This incomparable analysis of the New York Convention as an instrument of uniform law presents insightful contributions by some of the world’s most distinguished academics and practitioners in the field of arbitration and is sure to significantly contribute to arbitral practice and jurisprudence in the Convention’s more than 160 contracting States. With extensive reference to case law from major arbitration hubs, the contributors examine the Convention with the aim of identifying the boundaries between autonomous and domestic concepts. Key elements covered include the following: the role of private international law under the Convention; notions of arbitrability and arbitral award; procedures for the enforcement of awards; nullity, invalidity, and conflict of laws under Articles II(3) and V(1)(a); the incapacity defence under Article V(1)(a); deviations from procedure; autonomous boundaries as to what falls under the issue of scope; and public policy under the Convention. The first and only resource of its kind, this book provides an invaluable clarification of the extent to which the Convention leaves room for the application of domestic law and, if so, how to determine which particular domestic law may be applicable. It will be welcomed by counsel, judges, arbitrators, and academics throughout the States that have signed the New York Convention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cases & Materials covers all essential aspects of the arbitral process & are divided between commentary & texts. The book accomplishes both an informational & analytical function. Cases & statutes are followed by extensive & rigorous evaluations. While focusing principally on domestic arbitration within the United States, the work does not ignore either the cross-border or the comparative dimensions of arbitral dispute resolution. The Materials address a number of procedural questions that have arisen in practice & emphasize, as critically important, the drafting of arbitration agreements & counseling on matters of arbitration. "The book begins with considerable attention to the theoretical basis for enforcing arbitration agreements & awards. In this connection, Carbonneau respects & explains the vital distinction between labor & commercial disputes better than many judges & scholars have done. Two chapters are spent on the important issue of how federalism affects arbitration law. An excellent chapter on arbitration & statutory rights takes the reader through the doctrinal evolution of "subject matter arbitrability," both in the traditional problems areas of securities & antitrust, & in the more current hot topics of age & sex discrimination in employment. Four chapters deal with international aspects of arbitration, including a look at arbitration law in several non-American jurisdictions, & an examination of treaty-created arbitration under NAFTA, the Iran Claims Tribunal & the Iraqi War Claims Commissions. The book's great strengths are twofold. First, its encyclopedic completeness misses no major case. Second, Professor Carbonneau devotes an almost loving attention to detail in his clear introductions & carefully weighed analytic comments & questions. With grace, elegance & style, Professor Carbonneau has put together a superb work on American arbitration law. His materials would be a bargain even at twice the price." William W. Park Professor of Law, Boston University Counsel, Ropes & Gray, Boston Vice President, London Court of International Arbitration "Tom Carbonneau's 'Cases & Materials on Commercial Arbitration' is a major contribution to the literature on arbitration. ... it contains not only excerpts of the most important U.S. cases on arbitration but also extensive commentary & analysis that will prove invaluable to practitioners, policy makers & academics who are already familiar with the field. The documentary supplement will also prove immensely valuable, particularly to those who are interested in international arbitration practice. Jean R. Sternlight Professor of Law, Florida State University Director of Education & Research, Florida Dispute Resolution Center.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After neutrality and international enforcement, the next most valued feature of international commercial arbitration is confidentiality. For reasons easy to imagine, businessmen do not want their trade secrets, business plans, strategies, contracts, financial results or any other types of business information to be publicly accessible, as would commonly happen in court proceedings. Yet the case law of arbitration shows that in practical terms confidentiality is not to be taken for granted - in fact, it has become one of the most undetermined matters in international arbitration. Although 'the emperor of arbitration may have clothes, ' as one scholar has quipped, his raiments of secrecy can be 'torn with surprising ease'. This book deciphers the current degree of confidentiality in international commercial arbitration as reflected by the most important arbitration rules, national laws, other arbitration-related enactments, and practices of arbitral tribunals and domestic courts globally. Drawing on this data and analysis, the author then sets forth criteria to assess the breach of confidentiality in international arbitration and the proper rules for protecting or sanctioning such breaches. What do we understand by confidentiality in arbitration? What are its limitations? Who is bound to observe it? How can we quantify its breach? In addressing these questions, the book engages such issues as the following: reasons for disclosure - e.g., for the establishment of a defence, for the enforcement of rights, in the public interest or in the interests of justice disclosure by consent, express or implied; circumstances triggering statutory obligation of disclosure; recent trends towards greater transparency in investor-State arbitration; court measures in support of arbitral confidentiality such as award of damages for breach of confidentiality; and categories of persons bound by confidentiality, including third parties such as witnesses and experts. Structured along the main stages of the arbitral process, the analysis covers the duty of confidentiality from the initiation of arbitral proceedings through their unfolding to the issuance of the award and after. The scope of confidentiality is reviewed in the practice of arbitral tribunals and domestic courts, and from the perspective of international arbitration institutions, with detailed attention to various arbitration rules and numerous significant cases. In its elucidation of the amount of confidentiality that 'veils' each phase of the arbitral process, and its ground-breaking identification of 'patterns of disclosure', this book is sure to raise awareness about the various facets and problems posed by confidentiality in arbitration. Although its scholarly contribution to the law of international commercial arbitration cannot be gainsaid, corporate counsel worldwide will quickly prize its more practical value.
