This collection of essays, lectures, tributes and reminiscences
honours the life, work, influence and achievements of the late
Professor Derek Roebuck (1935-2020). He was a scholar, teacher,
lawyer, prolific author, researcher, editor, human rights activist,
feminist and creator of a widely acclaimed ten-volume series
chronicling the international history of arbitration and mediation
from Ancient Greece to the 'Long' eighteenth century (1700-1815).
The scholarly contributions embrace a wide variety of subjects and
reflect the breadth of Derek's interests, learning and expertise.
They include the rule of law, transnational and comparative
commercial law, modernisation of laws in South East Asia, leading
arbitration personalities in early modern England, two US-related
commentaries (one on mediation and arbitration in colonial America
by Derek, and one on the post-Civil War Alabama arbitration of
1871-1872), transparency and efficiency in modern international
commercial arbitration, the role of modern mediation in resolving
conflicts, and a literature review of Derek's histories. The
diversity of Derek's interests and the esteem in which he was held
are reflected in the broad array of contributions penned by
colleagues, co-authors (including Derek's wife Susanna Hoe),
students, friends and other contemporaries from an equally broad
array of backgrounds. In addition to the scholarly contributions,
the In Memoriam tributes reveal the depth and extent to which Derek
influenced, guided, mentored and touched the lives of everyone he
met. Also featured in this collection is a selection of papers
presented as part of the Roebuck Lectures, a series inaugurated by
the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in 2011 to commemorate
Professor Roebuck's ten years as Editor of its journal,
Arbitration. Two of the featured lectures are published here for
the first time. The lectures address subjects close to Professor
Roebuck's heart, such as ethics, diversity, human rights and the
historical development of dispute resolution processes. They also
include his own Inaugural Lecture of 2011 calling for a fundamental
rethink of dispute management.
The UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration has
been a great success in harmonizing the law of arbitration around
the world. Several dozen countries have either adopted the law or
amended their own laws to be in conformity with it. The fact that
the law is the same in so many countries allows courts from each
country to benefit from the interpretation of the Model Law
provisions in many countries. This book, written by distinguished
arbitration practitioners, compiles decisions applying the Model
Law from most Model Law jurisdictions, and organizes them in order
to provide easy reference. The cases are organized by section of
the Model law, with the cases applying that section from multiple
jurisdictions summarized together. Each summary includes a
statement of the holding of the case, a broader summary of the
facts and the ruling, and case citations. This compilation will
allow arbitration counsel to compare and to readily use rulings
under each Model Law section from multiple jurisdictions. Decisions
are compiled applying the Model Law from various Model Law
jurisdictions and cases are organized by section of the Model Law,
with the cases applying to that section from multiple jurisdictions
summarized together.
