Arbitrium wishes everyone good health and prosperity in the Year of the Rat
We are delighted to report that, after just 8 months online, over 2,000 members have registered with Arbitrium. We continue to build our global readership and thank all our existing members, contributors and sponsors.
This month, Arbitrium brings you a range of cases including, from Singapore, the Court of Appeal’s decision in BXS v BNY (overturning the High Court on the question of the right seat of arbitration), and a High Court decision dealing with the public policy ground of objection and time limits ; a raft of cases from England (and one from Ireland), including a Court of Appeal decision concerning the governing law of an arbitration agreement and consideration of no oral modification provisions; and an interesting link to the “Disputes Clause Finder”, an online tool produced by an international law firm which provides users with individually tailored choice-of-court or arbitration clauses.
