Commercial Arbiration

Los contratos por adhesión son algo muy común hoy en día, de igual manera los acuerdos arbitrales son cada vez más recurridos entre empresas; pero, qué pasaría si una empresa quisiera utilizar un acuerdo arbitral en un contrato de adhesión, ya que mientras el primero implica una voluntariedad, el segundo sólo permite la adhesión del contratante. En este aspecto, se busca resolver esta interrogante sobre dos figuras aparentemente distintas, para establecer si son figuras irreconciliables o pueden funcionar conjuntamente.

Súčasťou komplexnej zmeny procesných pravidiel obsiahnutých v rôznych predpisoch civilného práva procesného, komplexne a podľa všeobecného úzu nazývanej rekodifikáciou civilného práva procesného v Slovenskej republike, je i pomerne revolučný zásah do pravidiel rozhodcovského konania. Tento výrazný zásah do rozhodcovského konania predstavujú v normatívnej rovine dva právne predpisy. Samostatný zákon o spotrebiteľskom rozhodcovskom konaní publikovaný ako zákon č. 335/2014 Z. z. o spotrebiteľskom rozhodcovskom konaní a o zmene a doplnení niektorých zákonov, a novela zákona č. 244/2002 Z. z. o rozhodcovskom konaní, publikovaná ako zákon č. 336/2014 Z. z., ktorým sa mení a dopĺňa zákon č. 244/2002 Z. z. o rozhodcovskom konaní v znení neskorších predpisov. Účelom tohto príspevku je analyzovať dôvody prijatia nových arbitrážnych pravidiel v oblasti tzv. obchodnej arbitráže, poukázať na najvýznamnejšie zmeny a pokúsiť sa anticipovať dopady týchto zmien na procesnoprávne prostredie v Slovenskej republike.

The Ethiopian Civil Code of 1960 contained provisions on administrative contracts. Such contracts were little known in Ethiopia during those days. However, in the absence of any legal system to govern contracts entered into by administrative authorities, the redactor of the Civil Code felt it necessary for Ethiopia to adopt the French administrative contract principles. Hence the incorporation of those principles into the Civil Code although the redactor himself admitted that it was peculiar for any Civil Code to contain administrative law principles. Since the promulgation of the Civil Code in 1960, the provisions on administrative contracts remained by and large unknown and virtually ineffective in terms of their application in governing contractual relationships between administrative authorities and private contracting parties. In early 1990s, as part of its modernization efforts, Ethiopia enacted new laws consisting of modern public procurement law principles in order to overhaul the then existing weak and corrupt public financial management and administration, and the public procurement systems. These new laws were followed and supplanted by two successive proclamations in 2005 and 2009 both on financial administration and public procurement. However, despite what it seems to be a clear and deliberate move by the legislature, as discussed in this work, to abrogate the old administrative contracts provisions in the Civil Code, the courts in Ethiopia take cognizance thereof and apply them whenever these provisions are invoked by disputing parties. Thus, the two conflicting legal regimes are made to co-exist in the Ethiopian legal system thereby causing confusions in the rights and obligations of contracting parties, particularly private companies and individuals entering into public procurement contracts with administrative authorities. In this work, the nature and peculiarities of administrative contracts, how the principles enshrined in such contracts evolved in Ethiopia, and the existing problems emanating from the dilemma of trying to preserve the old administrative contracts provisions are examined and analyzed. Furthermore, the provisions of the successive proclamations by which these administrative contracts law provisions have been repealed have been critically assessed. Finally, it is shown that Ethiopia has enacted a full-fledged modern public procurement laws that are modelled on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Procurement of Goods, Construction and Services (1994) which should prevail over the old administrative contract rules in the Civil Code.

arbitration-sport-xxiii-olympicgames With seventeen days of competition, 102 sporting events, 2925 athletes, and 92 nations represented, the XXIII Winter Olympic Games (OG) in PyeongChang, South Korea, were likely to involve disputes. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) established two special divisions designed to address Olympic competitions, following the practice of previous editions of the OG. The "Ad Hoc Division" addresses sport-related disputes while the "Anti-doping Division" (CAS ADD) adjudicates doping claims. This Insight analyzes the creation and functioning of these Divisions and offers an overview of the decisions issued at the PyeongChang Games.

A obra tem por objeto um dos temas de grande repercussão teórica e prática da arbitragem nacional e internacional: as táticas de guerrilha. Partindo-se da análise social, econômica e jurídica da arbitragem comercial internacional, a pesquisa caminha para a conceituação e categorização das táticas de guerrilha na arbitragem internacional, identificando como se manifestam estes comportamentos abusivos e antiéticos e o quanto impactam na eficiência econômica da arbitragem. Analisa os mecanismos existentes de regulamentação ética na arbitragem comercial internacional e quais são as sanções mais eficientes e eficazes para o combate às táticas de guerrilha arbitrais, direcionando um retorno às origens éticas da arbitragem para sua manutenção como principal meio de solução dos conflitos comerciais internacionais.

This paper addresses electronic evidence focusing on arbitration rules of the leading ADR providers. It also narrows the topic to an empirical assessment using six categories of electronic evidence in a sample of 92 arbitration proceedings. The paper aims to offer the concept of electronic evidence in international arbitration, its admissibility and relevance criteria, and reach conclusions from an empirical analysis of a large sample of arbitration proceedings gathered from the Centro Brasileiro de Mediação e Arbitragem (Brazilian Center for Mediation and Arbitration). We conclude that electronic evidence is regularly used in arbitration and is relevant to the arbitrators’ reasoning. We propose a revision on the 2016 Draft Convention on Electronic Evidence to include arbitration. Index words: alternative dispute resolution; arbitration; electronic evidence; admissibility; relevance; weight; empirical analysis

Intellectual Property (IP) is globally recognized as the driving force behind diverse economies. While IP transactions and cross-border investments are constantly advancing, one cannot fail to notice the dramatic worldwide influx of IP disputes. There is substantial ambiguity while deciding whether certain issues concerning IP can be considered by arbitral tribunals. Hence, declaring a conclusive statement about whether IP disputes should be adjudicated by the court or through arbitration is not always deemed as an easy attempt. IP arbitration has been gaining immense global recognition with the constant game of tug-of-war between rights in rem and rights in personam. Specialized IP arbitration can be considered by the disputants as an alternative to a court litigation when faced with multijurisdictional complications or while drafting related agreements. Nonetheless, the question of whether an International Commercial Arbitration (ICA) as an option, is indeed fit for the proposed purpose, must be acknowledged. The paper garners information from diverse sources with an attempt to explicate a comprehensive study on the arbitrability of IP disputes. The author attempts to ascertain a historical synchronicity between ICA and IPR, and the dire need for the application of commercial arbitration to decide matters of IP. Additionally, the paper draws a connection to the legal upshots of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The objective of this study is to subserve discussion and to highlight the most significant aspects of IP arbitration that need to be considered by parties to the dispute and their respective counsels.

"A arbitragem não é, com efeito, um ofício; é uma missão, uma função temporária, e não uma profissão. Todos os que são árbitros têm, em princípio, outro ofício, uma ocupação principal que lhes garante uma remuneração regular e lhes outorga um status social. (...) Então, à pergunta 'Quem são os árbitros?', poder-se-ia simplesmente responder que são 'intermitentes', mas 'intermitentes da justiça', o que é, de qualquer forma, uma bela missão." (Thomas Clay)

Arbitration is fast taking centre stage in the dispute resolution system of the world and has proven itself an efficient method of dispute resolution mostly in the oil and gas industry. This paper  will consider the arbitration of disputes in oil and gas industry and specifically whether Nigerian Laws are encouraging the resolution of disputes by arbitration between the host communities and the oil companies

L'arbitrato commerciale internazionale è il mezzo primario per la risoluzione delle controversie internazionali in tema di affari. 2 In virtù della sua propria natura, questa procedura attraversa i confini nazionali: coinvolge, inoltre, soggetti appartenenti a stati diversi, ma spesso anche a culture diverse.

Drafting the Arbitration Clause.

Is the arbitration clause really the procedural basis of a commercial arbitration process?

Is the arbitration clause related to the arbitration resolution and, consequently, if the arbitration clause is declared void, the second could also be void accordingly?

The Chapter provides an analysis of the post 2015 laws and policies promulgated by the government of Tanzania with a view to regulating the Oil and Gas sector in the country. The extent to which these have addressed the practical challenges is reviewed and recommendations made.

The objective of this paper is to understand how arbitration in sports matters relates to commercial arbitration in general. More specifically, the focus will be on institutional arbitration, since the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) forms the main study object of this paper.

The ultimate purpose is to understand why the CAS is so unique in institutional arbitration. Despite the distinct and specific nature of sports disputes, the structure of sports arbitration is a very interesting study object in international commercial arbitration. Why is the need for arbitration so pressing in sports disputes? What are the most important assets of this system? What are the main points of criticism and what could potentially be improved? Finally, what is there to learn for other branches, or is it all about the specificity of sport?

Recently, the Federal Government of Nigeria included in her 2018 Appropriation Bill, a budget for Bitumen mining which was passed into a law by the National Assembly and the mining companies are today rolling their tanks and drums to location for onward mining exercise. It is understandably why this piece of news or milestone was greeted with joy. Nigeria, as it stands, is the second largest deposit of Tar Sand, another name for Bitumen the world over. This mineral deposit is largely found in Ondo State, particularly at Ode-Irele, Irele Local Government of the State.
