Publisher's Synopsis
The ICC Rules of Arbitration ("the Rules") constitute one of the world's oldest and most widely-used sets of rules for international commercial disputes. On January 1, 1998, new rules took effect which represent the first major reform of the Rules in two decades.;This in-depth, article-by-article guide differentiates the new Rules from the earlier versions and explains the way in which they will operate in practice. Both authors had a close involvement in the preparation of the new Rules - Mr Derains, as chairman of the working party that prepared them, and Mr Schwartz as Secretary General of the ICC Court during their preparation (Mr Derains has also served in this position).;The reference book should be of interest to anyone dealing with or expecting to deal with the new ICC Rules.
