Description
In this session we explore how the courts intervene in arbitral hearings and awards across various jurisdictions and judicial systems and cultures. The courts in some of these jurisdictions profess minimal intervention – is that a good idea? What are the benefits associated with judicial restraint? What are the appropriate avenues for challenging arbitrations, and how do these vary across the different jurisdictions?
