This book contains contributions to two joint seminars organized by the Universities of Kiel and St. Petersburg. Both international commercial arbitration and maritime law are characterized by a mixture of international and national sources. The two subjects are brought together here in one volume as maritime disputes often go to arbitration and both areas show, from a theoretical perspective, a number of interesting parallels and differences. Germany and Russia have ratified the major conventions in these fields, but many issues are left to domestic law and deserve a comparative evaluation.

This casebook is an effort to explain infrastructure markets from a unique perspective: regulation. Regulation means the analysis of two main groups of laws, namely internal market and antitrust law. The aim is to find a uniform regulation applicable to infrastructures in the European common market through a direct reading and explanation of judicial opinions. The book is divided into five parts: two general chapters and three thematic chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to the main European law principles applicable to infrastructure markets. The second chapter applies the Services of General Interest doctrine to infrastructure markets: The key issue is the separation of the public administrations and the private companies operating infrastructures. The thematic chapters focus on seaports, railways and airports, respectively. The core of the examination is a dual perspective dealing with both the internal market rules and ensuring fair competition.

On the occasion of his 75th birthday, Neil Kaplan's unparalleled influence in the field of international arbitration is celebrated in this book which comprises contributions from over twenty-five renowned international arbitration practitioners, all of whom credit Kaplan as having impacted the development of arbitration in their respective jurisdictions or professionally. The book is constructed as a three-part compendium as follows: • the Kaplan Lectures, an annual series established to bring some of the best minds in international arbitration to Hong Kong to address current and practical issues; • key decisions and arbitration awards rendered by Kaplan, with commentaries that make current the issues arising out of these judgments and also provide an in-depth analysis of important issues emanating from his treaty arbitration awards; • articles showcasing the reach of Kaplan's influence through reflections by several of his former assistants who are now making a mark in their own right in the international arbitration community. Arbitration practitioners will welcome this book for its practical analysis of some of the most discussed and debated 'hot issues' in arbitration law and practice today. In addition, the commentaries on Kaplan's key decisions offer especially insightful guidance for practitioners, academics and students in the field of international arbitration.

ISBN: 0415492785

This book examines the formation, nature and effect of the arbitratorsâe(tm) contract, addressing topics such as the appointment, challenge, removal and duties and rights of arbitrators, disputing parties and arbitration institutions. The arguments made in the book are based on a semi-autonomous theory of the juridical nature of international arbitration and a contractual theory of the legal nature of these relationships. From these premises, the book analyses the formation of the arbitratorâe(tm)s contract in both ad hoc and institutional references. It also examines the institutionâe(tm)s contract with the disputing parties and its effect on the arbitratorâe(tm)s contract under institutional references. The book draws from national arbitration laws and institutional rules in various jurisdictions to give a global view of the issues examined in it. The arbitratorâe(tm)s contract is analysed from a global perspective of arbitral law and practice with insights from various jurisdictions in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The primary focus of the book is an analysis of the formation of the arbitratorâe(tm)s contract and the terms of this contract and the institutionâe(tm)s contract. The primary question of the consequences (if any) of the breaches of the terms of these contracts and its impact on the exclusion or limitation of liability of arbitrators and institutions is also analysed with the conclusion that since these transactions are contractual and the terms can be categorised as in any normal contract, then normal contractual remedies can be applied to the breaches of these terms. International Commercial Arbitration and the Arbitratorâe(tm)s Contract will be of great value to arbitration practitioners and researchers in arbitration. It will also be very useful to students of arbitration on the topics of arbitrators and arbitration institution.

The Brussels I Regulation, which ensures the free circulation of judgments within the EU, was recently revised; one of the main issues addressed was whether the Regulation affects the efficient resolution of international commercial disputes through arbitration within the Union. This book provides an in depth examination of the interface between the Regulation and international commercial arbitration. The author demonstrates that the consequences of this interface can encourage the use of delaying tactics, hampering the efficient resolution of international disputes.
