Those of us who lecture or advise clients on the drafting of arbitration clauses always try to hammer home the notion that simply to cut and paste an arbitration clause from an older contract into a newer one may be a grave mistake. The world of arbitration is in constant flux. Court decisions may effect more or less important modifications in the arbitration landscape of a country and may even have an impact far beyond the shores of the jurisdiction directly concerned. We all recall how an Australian court decision on the confidentiality of arbitration and a French court decision on the appointment of arbitrators in a multiparty arbitration shook up and altered perceptions and practice almost everywhere. Obviously, legislation, arbitral awards and treaties may do the same.
The contents of this issue illustrate once again that there is no place for complacency in international arbitration. The articles cover developments in or related to China, the European Union, Switzerland and the Ukraine.
