In numerous fields of law, ranging from family law to company law,
private actors increasingly set their own rules, revert to private
enforcement of those rules and choose the applicable law. Within
each field this tendency has already been scrutinised. Until now,
however, few attempts have been made to look at these phenomena
together with a view to arriving at conclusions that go beyond one
specific field. This book is a first attempt to fill this gap. It
is relevant for scholars and practitioners working in the
individual fields of law covered (private international law,
company law, family law, consumer law and commercial law) as well
as for scholars and policy makers trying to grasp the overall
nature of the increasing privatisation of the law.
This book offers a series of commentaries on noteworthy arbitral
awards and court decisions on arbitration. All contributions focus
on the practice of arbitration. Influential authors with proven
arbitration experience share their insights on celebrated and less
well-known cases, drawn from various countries, various arbitration
institutions and including both commercial and investment
arbitration. This collection of essays celebrates the work and
scholarship of Hans van Houtte, who has been a professor of
international commercial arbitration at the University of Leuven
for more than 20 years. In addition to his widely -praised
contribution to the theory of arbitration, Professor Van Houtte has
built a long career in the practice of arbitration, presiding over
a vast array of arbitral tribunals and holding appointments to
international tribunals, most recently as president of the Iran-US
Claims Tribunal. Hans van Houtte has always been concerned with the
practical usefulness of scholarly writings, and this book respects
this approach. This volume will prove essential for all arbitration
practitioners and will also be of great interest also to academics
and research students with an interest in international
arbitration.
