Craig Shepherd and Mike McClure from the HSF office in Dubai have co-edited a TDM (Transnational Dispute Management) Special entitled “Arbitration in the Middle East – expectations and challenges for the future”, that was published today.
The Special considers a number of issues facing arbitration in the Middle East including the proliferation of new arbitral centres, updated statutory regimes to support arbitration and national courts recognising and enforcing arbitral awards. It also reports on examples of where courts have assumed jurisdiction in spite of arbitration clauses and arbitral awards not being enforced for what appear to be minor procedural defects and public policy considerations that can play a major role in the region.
A link to the Special is here.
