Complex Arbitrations

ICC Publishing's Book of the Month for February delves into the growing demands placed on arbitration in an increasingly complex commercial world.
 
Complex Arbitrations, a special supplement to the ICC International Court of Arbitration Bulletin, examines the impact of more frequent multi-party arbitrations.  Each article deals with a particular aspect of the procedural implications of complex arbitrations.
 
Dr. Robert Briner, Chairman of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, notes in the foreword that arbitral tribunals nowadays are regularly faced with disputes that go beyond the two-party, one-contract scenario.  Even disputes ostensibly confined to such a scenario may in fact turn out to relate to other disputes that are or have been the subject of separate proceedings, Dr. Briner adds.  Furthermore, the contract underlying a dispute may be part of a series of contracts involving other parties besides those named in the proceedings.
 
"Faced with such situations, arbitrators have been required to find new solutions to the complicated procedural problems they raise," Dr. Briner said.
 
Complex Arbitrations may be ordered from the ICC Business Bookstore.
