The MENA Leading Arbitrators’ Guide to International Arbitration provides a unique insight into how leading arbitrators of the Middle East and North Africa approach a number of core procedural and substantive law issues in arbitrations seated in the MENA region.
Apart from taking the reader through the main procedural milestones of a MENA-seated arbitration, it also deals with some of the key subjects of arbitration in the region, such as the question of arbitrability, the fundamental distinction between institutional and ad hoc arbitration, the powers and duties of arbitrators sitting in the MENA, the role of the national courts in their capacity as curial and supervisory courts in the arbitration, fees and costs in MENA arbitration, the often vexed topic of public policy, and the role of conciliation as an alternative form of dispute resolution, to name a few. At the substantive law level, the reader will benefit inter alia from insiders’ views on force majeure and hardship in the MENA region.
The title also examines specific types and industry sectors of arbitration, starting with free zone arbitration, which has made its debut in the Middle East, investment arbitration and arbitration in construction, oil and gas, maritime, and banking and finance. Finally, the title also features a number of topical contributions on gender and diversity in MENA arbitration.
