Maxwell Conversations: Managing Public Policy
2024-08-29 08:00 - 09:30 (Asia/Singapore) | Singapore
Event Details
Maxwell Conversations: Managing Public Policy | 29 August 2024

Maxwell Conversations features leading personalities at the top of the international dispute resolution industry. These events seek to challenge assumptions with a deeper examination of the issues.
Synposis
Public policy is an important element in determining the arbitrability of a dispute, and also a ground on which an award may be annulled or refused enforcement. It has often been said that the public policy should be construed narrowly in keeping with the pro-arbitration policy of the New York Convention or the UNCITRAL Model Law.
Held as part of Singapore Convention Week, this session of Maxwell Conversations focused on the crucial role of public policy in international arbitration. The discussion highlighted how public policy influences the arbitrability of disputes and serves as grounds for annulling or refusing the enforcement of an award. While it is commonly understood that public policy should be interpreted narrowly, aligning with the pro-arbitration stance of the New York Convention and UNCITRAL Model Law, the event also shed light on less frequently discussed topics.
The panel explored the importance of arbitrator independence and seat court review, which are considered part of the “international public policy” of arbitration. This was contrasted with how courts may enforce annulled awards if they deem the annulment contrary to their own national public policy, touching on issues like crime, corruption, or sovereignty. The discussion raised important questions about whether international and national public policies are opposing forces or if enforcing courts should consider multiple layers of public policy, including the public policies of the governing law, the seat of arbitration, and how to navigate conflicts between these different frameworks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmkRD4RMCwk
The books referenced by Michael at the start of the session are:

The Public Policy Exception under the New York Convention, Second Edition by Anton G. Maurer
ICCA’s Guide to the Interpretation of the 1958 New York Convention, Second Edition
Guide on the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, New York 1958 by the UNCITRAL Secretariat

Additional reference materials include:

Re-calibration of curial intervention in public policy challenges against arbitral awards” written by Darius Chan and Elias Ngai of the Singapore Management University in the Journal of International Arbitration

Q&A from the Lecture:
Q1: What are the potential challenges in the future for issuing arbitral awards? Are there any changes in environment or technology that may mitigate or worsen these challenges?
Q2: What aspects of arbitration are ready for AI?
Q3: What do you think are the key issues that need to be considered when using technology?
Q4: About diversity, I notice that the ICC now has an almost 50/50 male/female mix. Is this too fast and too artificial?
Q5: For operating with ICC arbitration, since the publishing of the ICC arbitration rules 2021 in the year of 2021, which part of the arbitration rules 2021 would ICC suggest multi-national companies, future expert witnesses, future party representatives and future arbitrators to pay attention to as per ICC’s observation so far?
