Description

The IBA rules on the taking of evidence in international arbitration will soon celebrate their ten year anniversary since their last revision in 2010. The IBA Arbitration Committee conducted a broad survey in 2015 - 2016 to gather feedback on the rules and any areas for potential revisions. This panel discusses the opinions expressed in support of the IBA rules in civil law and common law jurisdictions. It also addresses the potential consideration of revisions in selected areas, including document production, burden of proof, privilege, sanctions, and fact witnesses and expert testimony.
