SUMMARY:Beyond the Black Box: Six Degrees of Separation - Independence\, Impartiality\, and Duty of Disclosure
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nBeyond the Black Box: Six Degrees of Separation – Independence\, Impartiality\, and Duty of Disclosure | 12 October 2023\nThere have been significant cases recently which considered the issues of bias and conflicts of interest in international arbitration. The need to ensure that justice is not only done but is also seen to be done in arbitration to resolve their disputes. What should an arbitrator disclose and what should the arbitrator do if being challenged by one of the parties. Are we being too sensitive or being too practical? \nFor our second session\, join our facilitators\, Delphine Ho and Jern-Fei Ng KC as they lead the discussion and explore the various types of conflicts of interest\, and instances where a challenge based on conflicts crosses the line and becomes and abusive one. \nThe discussion\, subject to the Chatham House Rules\, will address\, amongst others: \n\nHow much uniformity exists among the various sets of institutional rules and guidelines\nWhat are the main types of conflict of interest that pose a challenge in arbitration proceedings\nHow much independence and impartiality do users seek\nWhat are users expecting\, and to what extent do expectations differ concerning the users’ own arbitrator\, the arbitrator appointed by the opponent\, and the chairperson\nIn what ways can party-appointed arbitrators impact independence and impartiality\nWhen and why should an arbitrator be challenged\nWhether the approach to disclosure and challenges should be revisited\n\nRegistration for the event has closed.  \n\n12 October 2023\n6.00pm – 7.30pm (GMT+8)\nRegistration starts at 5.50pm. Light refreshments will be served.\n\n\nSingapore\nOrganiser: Maxwell Chambers\nFormat: In-person\n\nPlease RSVP by 17 April 2023.
