Dear Members and Friends,
The search for the “proper” or “regional” approach in handling document production, witness examination and oral pleadings is a recurring theme in arbitration. Is a more inquisitorial style what arbitration needs in the region? Don't miss our next
YAAP Round Table on 25 September offering a lively debate with Christoph Liebscher and Niamh Leinwather on a controversial change raised by many practitioners in the region.
CIETAC celebrates the opening of its new representative office with a "
One Belt, One Road & Arbitration" Forum on
28 September - a globally debated initiative that some call "the project of the century." Arbitration practitioners worldwide are currently considering "what's in it for arbitration?"
Save the date for our next YAAP Round Table abroad: After great events that attracted many young practitioners in Bratislava and Budapest, YAAP will be on tour in
Belgrade on 7 November organizing an event with VIAC and our friends from the Serbian Arbitration Association and the Belgrade Arbitration Center (BAC).
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best regards,
Patrizia and Filip
1. YAAP Round Table, 25 September 2018, 7 p.m., at Gustl Kocht
Arbitration – does it need the inquisitorial approach?
A controversial debate by
Christoph Liebscher (Liebscher Dispute Management)
and Niamh Leinwather (Freshfields)
Although the adversarial system is still predominant in arbitration, those advocating for a more inquisitorial style are increasingly gaining support. Also in light of the “Prague Rules”, is there really a “better” approach considering the tension between the arbitral principles of party autonomy, efficiency and flexibility? You will hear the pros and cons in a lively debate between Christoph Liebscher and Niamh Leinwather.

! NEW ! Venue: Restaurant “Gustl kocht”, Erdbergstraße 21, 1030 Vienna (subway U3 Rochusgasse)
