Session information
Session one: New trends in confidentiality and transparency in international arbitration: where are we heading to?
Sunday 15 September (1230 - 1345)
Description
Confidentiality is often described as one of the key reasons parties choose to resolve disputes through international arbitration. However, there has always been a push for greater transparency, which has extended to both investor-state and commercial arbitrations. Some leading arbitral institutions have amended their rules and new arbitration laws have been introduced in various jurisdictions to increase public access to information previously considered confidential. Another aspect of confidentiality pertains to the secrecy of the arbitrators’ deliberations. Arbitrators sometimes face applicants seeking disclosure of their deliberation records. This panel will examine these issues and share their perspectives on what the future holds.
