GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
FOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION
As globalization continues, international disputes arise. Parties of different
nationalities sign contracts with implications in far corners of the planet,
for which both jurisdiction and applicable law are not always pre-determined.
One should thus ask himself the right questions. In case of conflict, should
I choose to resort to arbitration or to another alternative dispute resolution
method? Should I rather submit the dispute to traditional judges, and if so,
before what jurisdiction?
Rising competition among seats and institutions
When resorting to arbitration, then the seat and eventually the arbitral
institutions must be chosen. Today the range of options is larger than ever,
with traditionally iconic seats such as London, Paris, Geneva or New York being
challenged by new locations. According to recent research*, Singapore and
Hong Kong rank among the five most preferred seats. The results show the same
trend for arbitral institutions: HKIAC (Hong Kong International Arbitration
Center) and SIAC (Singapore International Arbitration Center), both in the
top five. The change of scenery is global: Africa wants to have its share, with
Mauritius paving the way to ADR on the continent and in Latin America, in
spite of the relatively young culture of arbitration, an ever increasing number of
conflicts are submitted to arbitration, notably important local disputes.
Cost and duration in the eye of the storm
Cost remains an issue. Users often complain about the expenses of
arbitration sometimes due to excessive duration. The ICC International
Court of Arbitration seems to hear the message: in January 2016, the
Court announced cuts in arbitrators’ fees in case of unjustified delay in
rendering the decision. Why not resort to third party funding for litigation
or international arbitration when cost is a problem? These funds, dedicated
to financing arbitration or trials, are becoming more common around the
world, for matters of any size. In early 2016, the New York litigation funding
firm Burford Capital signed a financing litigation agreement with BT Group
for $45 million. Other disruptive players, such as E-Just, are appearing.
This is only the beginning of a global rescaling of financing methods and
seats for dispute resolution, certain to bring the field greater accessibility,
innovation and competition.
*Conducted by the School of International Arbitration at Queen Mary University of London.
