The comment was published in International Arbitration Law Review; Carolyn Lamm, Eckhard Hellbeck and Bjoern Boerger (Washington, DC) co-authored a case note in International Arbitration Law Review on the decision of the US District Court for the District of Columbia in Continental Transfert Technique Ltd v.
