This approach prevails in various jurisdictions. Its application in international arbitration has been advocated by many scholars. It has also been followed by various arbitral tribunals. \nWatch the full recorded session below:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79h-w4Fnwnk \n\n\n 25 November 2021\n \n\n 4.00pm – 5.15pm (GMT+8)\n \n\n \n Download Event Flyer\n \n \n\n\n\n Singapore\n \n\n Organiser: Maxwell Chambers\n \n\n Format: Virtual\n \n\n \n WAtch recording of webinar\n \n \nProgramme\n\n\n 4.00pm to 5.00pm (GMT+8) – Webinar\n \n\n 5.00pm to 5.15pm (GMT+8) – Q & A\n \n\nWho should attend\n\n\n This webinar will be of interest to legal practitioners\, lawyers\, arbitrators\, academics.\n \n\nWebinar Details\n\n\n The webinar is free and will be conducted via Zoom.\n \n\n \nEarn 1 Public CPD Point\nAttendance Policy\nParticipants who wish to obtain CPD Points are reminded that they must comply strictly with the Attendance Policy set out in the CPD Guidelines.

DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nMaxwell Conversations: Will Asia Change International Arbitration? | 21 October 2021\n \nMaxwell Chambers held its second session of Maxwell Conversations on 21 October 2021\, discussing the topic “Will Asia Change International Arbitration?“. The webinar was attended by more than 320 participants from over 40 countries. \nThe panelists included Professor Julian Lew QC\, Head of the School of International Arbitration of Queen Mary University of London\, and Arbitrator at Twenty Essex\, Sanjeev Kapoor\, Vice President of ICC International Court of Arbitration\, and Partner at Khaitan & Co\, Kevin Nash\, Deputy Registrar & Centre Director at SIAC\, and Nils Eliasson\, Vice-Chair of HKIAC\, Chairperson of HKIAC’s Proceedings Committee\, and Partner at Shearman & Sterling. The discussion was moderated by Lawrence Teh\, Senior Partner and Co-Head of the International Arbitration Practice at Dentons Rodyk\, who was hosting the webinar in person at Maxwell Chambers. \nThe key topics covered by the speakers include a discussion on the results of the Queen Mary University of London 2021 International Arbitration Survey: Adapting Arbitration to a Changing World; exploring what the results and statistics say about Asia; the projections for the future and how the shift will affect businesses or international arbitration practices. \nThe session started with a fireside chat between Professor Lew and Lawrence\, where they discussed Asia’s historical participation in international arbitration and the rise of Asia’s economy which gave rise to greater familiarity\, trust and participation by Asian businesses in international arbitration. Professor Lew shared key findings from the survey\, citing diversity to be one of the most discussed issue in international arbitration in recent years – gender diversity\, cultural diversity\, geographic diversity and ethnic diversity. \nSanjeev next shared ICC’s latest 2020 figures where ICC arbitration filed 925 filings – the highest number of cases being administered under the ICC arbitration rules\, from 145 countries and territories worldwide and of which\, 25% comes from Asia Pacific. He also shared how the bargaining parity of parties in Asia has been rising over the years. \nNils shared that it was of no surprise that HKIAC emerged as the top three most preferred arbitration seat\, as the foundation of arbitration in Hong Kong has been solid\, with over 30 years of experience in conducting international arbitration. He added that there has been a big drive from overseas companies (including US Technology companies) to put a Hong Kong seat with HKIAC rules into their license agreements and other contracts with a China nexus\, that is due to the Mainland China-Hong Kong Interim Measures Arrangement. The arrangement is a game-changer according to Nils\, as companies now can get interim measures from the mainland courts with a seat in Hong Kong. \nKevin added that a big advantage for SIAC and HKIAC has also been that Singapore and Hong Kong are two of the very few jurisdictions that have provided for the enforceability of emergency arbitrators’ orders or awards for arbitrations seated in Hong Kong\, Singapore\, and also for foreign-seated arbitrations. \nKevin then touched on the rise in numbers of big entities putting their trust in SIAC\, particularly for high-value disputes\, and the rise of Asian economies and increased bargaining power of Asian users. He observed that there have been many new kinds of disputes from different sectors – fintech\, cryptocurrency and renewables – emerging in arbitration. There has also been a greater level of acceptance of institutional arbitration over ad hoc arbitration\, with international arbitration as the preferred mechanism for resolving cross-border disputes. In addition\, with virtual or remote hearings\, it makes it much easier for faraway parties to choose Asia. \nThe panelists concluded the session with a discussion on the progress in diversity in international arbitration\, alongside an interactive Q&A session. \nWatch the full recorded session below:\n\n\n21 October 2021\n5.00pm – 6.30pm (GMT+8)\n\nDownload event flyer\n\n\n\nSingapore\nOrganiser: Maxwell Chambers\nFormat: Virtual\n\n\nClick here to register\n \nProgramme\n\n5.00pm – 5.30pm: Conversation with Prof Julien Lew QC\n\nWill Asia Change International Arbitration?\n\nAsia’s historical participation in international arbitration\nAsia’s recent economic profile\nQMUL International Arbitration Survey 2021 and what it really means\nCultural diversity’s effect on international arbitration\n\n5.30pm – 6.00pm: Panel Discussion \nModerator – Lawrence Teh; Panellists – Professor Julien Lew QC will be joined by Kevin Nash of SIAC\, Nils Eliasson of HKIAC\, and Sanjeev Kapoor of ICC International Court of Arbitration. \n6.00pm – 6.30pm: Q&A \n\nDownload event flyer\n\n\nAbout Maxwell Conversations\n\nEvent Outline\n\nSupporting Organisations \nSpeaker\nPROF JULIAN LEW QC\nJulian is a full-time arbitrator in international commercial and investment disputes.

This is because of different timing or context for determining the law applicable to the arbitration agreement\, different types of arbitration agreement\, or different permutations of the parties’ chosen seat and chosen law for their contract. The courts also disagree on the parties’ intentions when ascertaining the implied choice of law or the law with the closest connection\, as well as on the applicability of the principles of separability and validation. \nThis webinar explored the sources and causes of the incessant inconsistency and intricacy in judicial determination of the law governing the arbitration agreement. Alleviating the current uncertainty demands concerted efforts by the parties to expressly specify the law governing their arbitration agreement\, as well as by legislatures and arbitral institutions to provide for default choice of law. \nHighlights from the Poll Results:\n(1) If (a) the parties have not expressly chosen any law for their arbitration agreement; (b) the parties have made different choices with respect to the law of the contract and the seat; and (c) the applicable laws or institutional rules do not provide a default choice of law for the arbitration agreement: \nWhat would be your most preferred law for the arbitration agreement? \na. The law of the contract (without exceptions) – first round (25.9%) / second round (14.4%)b. The law of the contract (with exceptions) – first round (28.4%) / second round (24.2%)c. The law of the seat (without exceptions) – first round (12.8%) / second round (13.5%)d. The law of the seat (with exceptions) – first round (19.3%) / second round (30.7%)e. The law favourable to the validity of the arbitration agreement – first round (13.6%) / second round (17.2%) \n(2) What would be your most preferred scope of application for the choice of law rule in New York Convention Art V(1)(a) (from the narrowest to the widest)? \na. Validity of arbitration agreement when determining an award’s enforceability – 38%b. Validity of arbitration agreement for all judicial determinations – 17.5%c.

By May this year\, 77 country reports had been received. Do the editors see any commonalities?\nIs it fair that the reasoning from technologically advanced perspectives – that there is no right to a physical hearing – is applied uniformly to all jurisdictions? Should tribunals take the position that general laws and general arbitration agreements do not remove the power of the tribunal to recognise that the right to an oral hearing includes the right to a physical hearing in appropriate circumstances?\n\nWatch the full recorded session below:\n\n\n22 July 2021\n6pm to 8pm (GMT+8)\n\nDownload Event Flyer\n\n\n\nSingapore\nOrganiser: Maxwell Chambers\nFormat: Virtual\n\nProgramme  (Starts at 6pm GMT+8)\n\nPart I (30mins) – Lawrence Teh speaks with Lucy Reed: Does a Right to a Physical Hearing Exist in International Arbitration?\nPart 2 (30mins) – Panel Discussion\nPart 3 (30mins) – Q&A\n\nWebinar Details: The webinar is free and will be conducted via Zoom. \n\nWatch recording of webinar\n\n\nEvent description\n\nPage 2 – Programme outline & registration details\n\nPage 3 – Supporting organisations \nSpeaker\nPROF LUCY REED\nLucy Reed is an independent arbitrator with Arbitration Chambers (New York)\, and currently the President of ICCA and a Vice-President of the SIAC Court.

DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nMaxwell Lectures Webinar: Lex Constructionis – or My Country’s Rules?\n\nWe were delighted to have Dr Donald Charrett as the speaker for our very first Maxwell Lectures webinar\, Lex Constructionis – or My Country’s Rules? on 10 September 2020. Dr Charrett spoke on the topic of construction law and the current trends in the industry\, especially in light of Covid-19. \nDr Charrett is a Barrister and practices in construction law as an Arbitrator\, Expert Determiner\, Mediator and Member of Dispute Boards. He is a member of the FIDIC President’s List of Adjudicators and an accredited FIDIC Trainer. As a Senior Fellow at Melbourne University\, he co-presents a Master’s course in international construction law. Prior to becoming a lawyer\, he worked as an engineer for over 30 years. Dr Charrett has also published widely and presented numerous conference papers and training courses. He is the author and editor of five books on construction law\, including “The International Application of FIDIC Contracts: A Practical Guide”. \nContract law in all countries in the world is based on the twin principles of freedom of contract\, and pacta sunt servanda. However\, each jurisdiction has laws that impact on contracts for construction work. Local laws apply if the governing law of the contract is in the jurisdiction\, if the site of the construction work is in the jurisdiction\, or if the seat of dispute resolution is in the jurisdiction. This lecture explores the question of whether there are universally accepted principles of construction law\, a lex constructionis\, or whether it is trumped in every jurisdiction by local laws that differ from international norms. \nWatch the full recorded session below:\nYou may download the webinar slides here. \nhttps://youtu.be/ZeYrg5h2348 \n\n\n 10 September 2020\n \n\n 5.00pm\n \n\n\n\n Singapore\n \n\n Format: Virtual\n \n\nProgramme\n\n\n 5pm – 6pm – Webinar\n \n\n 6pm – 6.15pm – Q & A\n \n\nWebinar Details\n\n\n The webinar is free and will be conducted via Zoom.\n \n\nSpeaker: \n \nDR DONALD CHARRETT\nDr Charrett is a Barrister and practises in construction law as an Arbitrator\, Expert Determiner\, Mediator and Member of Dispute Boards.
