Information

Description

There is nothing more frustrating for a client than obtaining a favorable award from an arbitral tribunal, but

failing to enforce it. The aim of this course is to raise awareness on key tactical considerations involved

after the award is rendered. You will learn about the importance of the post-arbitration phase.

How does one obtain leave to enforce an award? How does one challenge an arbitral award? How does one

resist the setting aside of an award?

Prerequisites

None. It is preferable, but not required, that students have already taken a course on International

Commercial Arbitration.

Teaching format

The course method focuses on case studies, and learning-by-doing putting the participants in the shoes of

counsel in a simulated case. Participants are expected to take an active part in the exercises and discussion

sessions.

Assessment

Validation will be based on presence and participation in class.
