Session information

Solving construction disputes under different arbitration rules: does it matter and is there a best choice?

Saturday 16 September (1100 - 1230)

Committee(s)

Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law Section (SEERIL) (Lead)
International Construction Projects Committee (Lead)
Young Lawyers' Committee (Lead)

Description

FIDIC forms, for example, when they make a choice, opt for the ICC Rules – save for the UNCITRAL Rules in the Pink Books. Does this mean that these arbitration rules are the best choice for construction disputes? Panellists and delegates will explore what matters and the relevant differences between the available arbitration rules.
