The IBA Rules v the Prague Rules in construction arbitrations

Saturday 2 November (0900 - 1020)

Description

The IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration have been around since 1999. They are said to reflect common law practices. The “Prague” Rules on the Efficient Conduct of Proceedings in International Arbitration were issued in December 2018. They are said to offer a more civil law based alternative to the IBA Rules. This debate will consider the advantages and disadvantages for construction arbitrations of the IBA Rules versus the Prague Rules.
