Les nouvelles frontières de l'arbitrage commercial international et entre investisseur et État : certainement "pas la Oldsmobile de votre père"

Dernière mise à jour : 28 avr.



 

Ce webinaire du 30 novembre 2023 a réuni des experts canadiens de l'arbitrage commercial international et de l'arbitrage investisseur-État pour discuter des évolutions et des développements similaires dans les deux régimes et des défis communs auxquels ils sont confrontés. Ils se sont concentrés sur les développements actuels et probables qui affectent ou peuvent affecter les deux formes d'arbitrage, et sur les développements dans l'un qui sont susceptibles d'avoir un impact sur l'autre, tels que la transparence, la crédibilité et l'acceptabilité, la satisfaction des parties, la conduite des représentants des parties, les conflits d'arbitres et les normes de performance, les moyens de réduire le temps et les coûts, etc. Regarder la boule de cristal faisait partie de la conversation.

 

De façon novatrice, ce groupe a examiné ensemble deux formes d'arbitrage qui sont souvent examinées séparément. Malgré l'évolution des divergences, les panélistes ont trouvé des leçons à tirer pour chacun en discutant des deux ensemble.

 

Avec Louise Barrington, Andrea Bjorklund, Matthew Kronby, Laurence Marquis, Janet Walker, Barry Leon and Charles-Emmanuel Côté. Merci aux nombreux organismes qui soutiennent ce webinaire de l'ADI Canada !
