Maxwell Lectures Webinar: Res judicata and the ‘could have been‘ claims
2021-11-25 04:00 - 17:15 UTC | Singapore
Event Details
Maxwell Lectures Webinar: Res judicata and the ‘could have been‘ claims | 25 November 2021
Maxwell Chambers successfully concluded Maxwell Lectures: Res judicata and the ‘could have been’ claims on 25 November 2021, featuring Prof Bernard Hanotiau from Hanotiau & van den Berg.
The webinar reviewed all the major issues that ‘Res judicata’ raises, many of which do not receive a unanimous answer: in particular, what law should arbitrators apply when they are confronted to a res judicata issue – as is more often the case – under what conditions does res judicata apply; what is the scope of res judicata; and if an award is not res judicata, what value should be given to it by other arbitrators.
Even more fundamentally, there have been debates these recent years on whether res judicata should be narrowly applied or whether it should be recognised a broad scope, extending for example to the “could have been claims”, claims that could have been included in the original procedure – but were not – and are the object of a second procedure. 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.

Maxwell Conversations: Will Asia Change International Arbitration? | 21 October 2021

Maxwell 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.
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Sanjeev 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.
Nils 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.
Kevin 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.
Kevin 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.
The panelists concluded the session with a discussion on the progress in diversity in international arbitration, alongside an interactive Q&A session.

Maxwell Lectures Webinar: Harmonising Judicial Approaches to Choice of Law in Arbitration Agreement
2021-08-19 05:00 - 18:15 UTC | Singapore
Event Details
Maxwell Lectures Webinar: Harmonising Judicial Approaches to Choice of Law in Arbitration Agreement | 19 August 2021
Maxwell Chambers successfully concluded Maxwell Lectures: Harmonising Judicial Approaches to Choice of Law in Arbitration Agreement on 19 August 2021, featuring Dr. Winnie Jo-Mei Ma from The Arbitration Chambers.
In the absence of the parties’ express choice of law for their arbitration agreement and any default choice provided by the applicable legislative or institutional rules, courts worldwide remain divided between the law governing the contract and the law of arbitral seat. 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.
This 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.
Highlights from the Poll Results:
(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:
What would be your most preferred law for the arbitration agreement?
a. 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%)
(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)?
a. Validity of arbitration agreement when determining an award’s enforceability – 38%b. Validity of arbitration agreement for all judicial determinations – 17.5%c. All issues concerning arbitration agreement (except for arbitrability and capacity) when determining an award’s enforceability – 22%d. All issues concerning arbitration agreement (except for arbitrability and capacity) for all judicial determinations – 22.5%

Maxwell Conversations: Lawrence Teh speaks with Lucy Reed

Maxwell Conversations: Lawrence Teh speaks with Lucy Reed | 22 July 2021

Maxwell Chambers successfully concluded the inaugural Maxwell Conversations in July 2021.
In the first series of Maxwell Conversations, Maxwell Chambers partnered with Lawrence Teh, a Senior Partner and Co-Head of the International Arbitration Practice at Dentons Rodyk & Davidson LLP, Singapore, who spoke with prominent US arbitrator and President of ICCA, Prof Lucy Reed on the topic “Does a Right to a Physical Hearing Exist in International Arbitration?”. The session was also joined by Yasmine Lahlou, an editor of the ICCA Right to a Physical Hearing Project and Chiann Bao, a leading arbitrator.
In the session, these main points were covered:

At what stage in international arbitration was there a developed international sense of a right to be heard, i.e. that the arbitrator or the tribunal had a duty to hear each side before he/she/it made a decision?
To what extent has civil law and common law traditions influenced the sense that the right to a hearing meant the right to a physical hearing?
ICCA’s research project “Does the Right to a Physical Hearing Exist in International Arbitration” was launched in September 2020. By May this year, 77 country reports had been received. Do the editors see any commonalities?
Is 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?

Maxwell Lectures Webinar: Lex Constructionis – or My Country’s Rules?
2020-09-10 17:00 - 18:00 UTC | Singapore
Event Details
Maxwell Lectures Webinar: Lex Constructionis – or My Country’s Rules?

We 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.
Dr 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”.
Contract 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.
