This highly-regarded text is now available to a wider audience with
the publication of the third edition in English. The work comprises
a detailed review of Chapter 12 of the Swiss Private International
Law Act, which governs international arbitration in Switzerland,
discussing arbitral and institutional practice under the ICC Rules,
the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, and the Code of
Sport-related Arbitration (CAS Code), as well as making reference
to the UNCITRAL Rules. Part III of the Swiss Federal Code of Civil
Procedure came into force in January 2011 and is referenced where
applicable. The book covers all essential aspects of international
arbitral proceedings and arbitration-led court proceedings in
Switzerland, from the drafting and validity of arbitration
agreements to the challenge, enforcement, and recognition of
arbitral awards. Comparative analysis and transnational
perspectives enhances the practical and systematic advice at the
centre of the work.
What does an athlete do when she is not allowed to take the start of the Olympic finals because of a positive doping test or he is not allowed to compete at the Games for reasons of nationality? He or she brings the case before the ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, an arbitral body first created on the occasion of the 1996 Games in Atlanta, which is present on site and resolves all disputes within 24 hours. Written by its former President, who teaches and practices international dispute resolution in Geneva, Switzerland, this book tells the story of the ad hoc Division from Atlanta to Sydney over Nagano. It gives an account of the cases resolved, discusses the Arbitration Rules, and explains the practical operation of the Division. It also reviews all the main arbitration law issues which the Division faces, including jurisdiction, arbitrability, due process, the choice and proof of the applicable substantive rules, the remedies against the award, as well as some sports law issues, such as field of play rules or strict liability for doping offenses.
In a world governed by speed, where the Internet plays a growing
role in many of today's innovations, the resolution of disputes
using electronic means of communication may soon be part of
everyday legal practice. This book offers solutions to the salient
issues of this new field of practice, and even spells out proposed
legislative and conventional amendments as well as specific
provisions in arbitration rules. Among the topics covered are the
following:
This open access book examines the multiple intersections between national and international courts in the field of investment protection, and suggests possible modes for regulating future jurisdictional interactions between domestic courts and international tribunals. The current system of foreign investment protection consists of more than 3,000 international investment agreements (IIAs), most of which provide for investment arbitration as the forum for the resolution of disputes between foreign investors and host States. However, national courts also have jurisdiction over certain matters involving cross-border investments. International investment tribunals and national courts thus interact in a number of ways, which range from harmonious co-existence to reinforcing complementation, reciprocal supervision and, occasionally, competition and discord. The book maps this complex relationship between dispute settlement bodies in the current investment treaty context and assesses the potential role of domestic courts in future treaty frameworks that could emerge from the States' current efforts to reform the system.The book concludes that, in certain areas of interaction between domestic courts and international investment tribunals, the "division of labor" between the two bodies is not always optimal, producing inefficiencies that burden the system as a whole. In these areas, there is a need for improvement by introducing a more fruitful allocation of tasks between domestic and international courts and tribunals - whatever form(s) the international mechanism for the settlement of investment disputes may take.Given its scope, the book contributes not only to legal analysis, but also to the policy reflections that are needed for ongoing efforts to reform investor-State dispute settlement.
