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.
The book is co-authored by Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler and Antonio
Rigozzi, both leading experts in the field of international
arbitration. Kaufmann-Kohler in particular is regarded as a world
leader in this field, being regularly ranked in the world's top ten
international arbitrators and most recently as the 'most
highly-regarded' arbitrator in the world by The International Who's
Who of Commercial Arbitration. The authors' combined expertise in
international commercial, investment, and sports arbitration makes
this book an essential resource for anyone involved with
international arbitration in Switzerland.
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.
