Publisher's Synopsis
Now also available as eBook
Focusing on the 2012 ICC Rules – which apply to all ICC arbitrations commenced on or after 1 January 2012 unless the parties have agreed that an earlier version should apply – this book serves the needs of the following parties:
- those who want a full introduction to the topic of ICC arbitration;
- those who already have a good understanding of how ICC arbitration worked under the old 1998 ICC Rules but are looking for an update on the new 2012 ICC Rules;
- those who need to take a decision on whether to opt for ICC arbitration;
- those who have opted for ICC arbitration and need to draft an ICC arbitration clause; and
- those who are actually faced with the prospect of an ICC arbitration.
As far as possible, the book is structured so as to follow the sequence of events that would typically take place in the resolution of a dispute by arbitration. Following a discussion of preliminary matters, the authors go on to describe the process leading from negotiation to arbitration, the initial decisions that may be taken by the ICC International Court of Arbitration, and the different steps in the proceedings before the arbitral tribunal. The book concludes with a discussion of the award and its enforcement. Extensive references to relevant books, articles, websites and other resources as well as a comprehensive glossary further enhance the book’s practical value.
