{"product_id":"9789041140678","title":"Procedure and Evidence in International Arbitration","description":"Central to the book’s purpose is the procedural challenge facing arbitrators at each and every stage of the arbitral process when fairness arguments conflict with efficiency concerns and trade-offs must be determined. Some key themes include how can a tribunal be fair, and in particular be neutral, if parties are so diverse? How can arbitration be made efficient and cost-effective without undue inroads into fairness and accuracy? How does a tribunal do what is best if the parties are choosing a suboptimal process? When can or must an arbitrator ignore procedural choices made by the parties? The author thoroughly evaluates competing arguments and adds his own practical tips, expertly synthesizing and engaging with the conference literature and differing authors’ views. He identifies criteria that offer a harmonized approach to each stage of the arbitral process, with particular attention to such aspects of international arbitration as: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eappropriate trade-offs between flexibility and certainty; \u003cbr\u003ethe rights, duties and powers of arbitrators; \u003cbr\u003eappointment and challenge of arbitrators; \u003cbr\u003eresponses to ‘guerilla’ tactics; \u003cbr\u003edrafting of arbitration agreements, including specialty clauses; \u003cbr\u003edrafting of required commencement notices and response documents; \u003cbr\u003eset-off; \u003cbr\u003efast track arbitration and other efficiency options; \u003cbr\u003estrategic use of preliminary conferences and timetabling; \u003cbr\u003eonline arbitration; \u003cbr\u003emulti-party, multi-contract, class arbitration; \u003cbr\u003eamicus and third party funders; \u003cbr\u003epre-arbitral referees and interim relief; \u003cbr\u003ewitness evidence, both factual and expert; \u003cbr\u003edocumentary evidence, production obligations, and challenges to production; \u003cbr\u003eidentifying applicable law; and remedies and costs.","brand":"Wolters Kluwer Law \u0026 Business","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180717785328,"sku":"9789041140678","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789041140678_p0.jpg?v=1763670228","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789041140678","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
