ADR in Business: Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, Volume II

Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:28:24 +0000

Published: January 2011

Whether the ‘A’ stands for ‘appropriate’, ‘amicable’, or ‘alternative’, all out of court dispute resolution modes, collected under the banner term ‘ADR’ , aim to assist the business world in overcoming relational differences in a truly manageable way.

The first edition of this book (2006) contributed to a global awareness that ADR is important in its own right, and not simply as a substitute for litigation or arbitration. Now, drawing on a wealth of new sources and developments, including the flourishing of hybrid forms of ADR, the subject matter has been largely augmented and expanded on two fronts: in-depth analysis (both descriptive and comparative) of methodology, expectations and outcomes and extended geographical coverage across all continents.

ADR in Business: Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, Volume II covers twenty-nine ‘intertwined but variegated’ essays (to use the editor’s characterization) that provide substantial insight in such specific topics as:

ADR’s flexible procedures as controlled by the parties
ADR’s facilitation of the continuation of relations between the parties
Privilege and confidentiality
Involvement of non-legal professionals
The identity and the role of the ‘neutral’ as well as the role of the arbitrator
The implementation of ICC and other international ADR rules
The workings of Dispute Boards and
The role of ADR in securing investment and other specific objectives

In its compound thesis – growing in relevance every day – that numerous dispute resolution methods exist whose goals and developments are varied but fundamentally complementary, the multifaceted approach presented here is of immeasurable value to any business party, particularly at the international level.

Practitioners faced with drafting a dispute resolution clause in a contract, or dealing with a dispute that has arisen, will find expert guidance here, and academics will expand their awareness of the issues raised by ADR, in particular as it relates to arbitration. A broad cross section of interested professionals will discover ample material for comparative study of how disputes are approached and resolved in numerous countries and cultures.

Arbitrating Under the 2012 ICC Rules: An Introductory User's Guide

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:43:59 +0000

Published: May 2012

Arbitrating Under the 2012 ICC Rules: An Introductory User's Guide is structured so as to follow the sequence of events that would typically take place in the resolution of a dispute by arbitration.

Following a discussion of preliminary matters, the authors go on to describe the process leading from negotiation to arbitration, the initial decisions that may be taken by the ICC International Court of Arbitration, and the different steps in the proceedings before the arbitral tribunal. The book concludes with a discussion of the award and its enforcement.

Focusing on the 2012 ICC Rules – which apply to all ICC arbitrations commenced on or after 1 January 2012 unless the parties have agreed that an earlier version should apply – this book serves the needs of the following parties:

Those who want a full introduction to the topic of ICC arbitration
Those who already have a good understanding of how ICC arbitration worked under the old 1998 ICC Rules but are looking for an update on the new 2012 ICC Rules
Those who need to take a decision on whether to opt for ICC arbitration
Those who have opted for ICC arbitration and need to draft an ICC arbitration clause
Those who are actually faced with the prospect of an ICC arbitration

Extensive references to relevant books, articles, websites and other resources as well as a comprehensive glossary further enhance the book's practical value.

Arbitrability: International and Comparative Perspectives

Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:27:59 +0000

Published: March 2009

It often seems today that no dispute is barred from resolution by arbitration. Even the fundamental question of whether a dispute falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of a judicial body may itself be arbitrable. Arbitrability is thus an elusive concept; yet a systematic study of it, as this book shows, yields innumerable guidelines and insights that are of substantial value to arbitral practice.

Although Arbitrability: International and Comparative Perspectives takes the form of a collection of essays, it is designed as a comprehensive commentary on practical issues that emerge from the idea of arbitrability. Fifteen leading academics and practitioners from Europe and the United States each explore different facets of arbitrability always with a perspective open to international developments and comparative evaluation of standards.

The presentation falls into two parts: in the first the focus is on the general features of arbitrability, its rationale and the laws applicable to it. In the second, arbitrability is specifically examined in the context of administrative, criminal, corporate, IP, financial, commercial, and criminal law.

This book has its origins in an International Conference on Arbitrability held at Athens in September 2005. Seven papers presented there are here reviewed and updated, and nine others are added.

The subject of the book – arbitrability – is one that is much talked about, but seldom if ever given the in-depth treatment presented here. Arbitrators and other practitioners in the field will welcome the way the analysis moves logically from theory to practice regarding every issue, and academics will recognize a definitive treatment of arbitrability as understood and applied in the settlement of disputes today.

Announcing False Security: The Radicalization of Canadian Anti-terrorism

Mon, 31 Aug 2015 15:02:15 +0000

After an autumn rife with terrorist attacks in the West, the Harper government responded with the radical Bill C-51, creating the “most far-reaching changes to Canadian security laws since 9/11.” Bill C-51 has been met with strong resistance from professionals and everyday Canadians alike, and Professors Forcese and Roach have been at the helm of the opposition. They have spent much of 2015 criticizing Canada’s new terror laws in both the government and the media. False Security, the culmination of their work, will be released on September 18th, 2015.

The book provides a detailed account of the failings of Bill C-51 and explains how the laws miss the mark in striking the delicate balance between privacy and security. Bill C-51 tackles anti-terrorism with a hard-line approach: the laws give CSIS more powers and allow the government to crack down on the promotion of terrorism. But these major changes ignore recommendations on how to avoid future threats, as well as the difficult lessons Canada has learned about terrorism throughout history.

Forcese and Roach look at the issue of terrorism through many lenses. While providing context through a detailed history of Canada’s responses to terrorism, the book also touches on the sociological and legal implications, presenting a cohesive and thorough look at today’s terrorism threat.

The biggest problem with Bill C-51, Forcese and Roach argue, is that the new “laws make a false promise of security, even as they present a radical challenge to established rights and freedoms in a free and democratic society.” Throughout the book, Forcese and Roach extensively analyze the repercussions of this and what it means for today’s Canadian society.

In-depth, thoughtful and well-written, False Security is, as put by Ron Atkey, “key to understanding Bill C-51.”
