Handbook of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration: Key Issues and Concepts

Handbook of Evidence in International Commercial Arbitration is a nonpareil compendium by a diverse group of distinguished arbitration practitioners and academics assessing how to collect, develop, and present evidence in arbitration proceedings, not only from a legal perspective but also from a cultural point of view. In arbitration, evidence provides the basis for almost every decision, be it procedural, jurisdictional, or substantive. However, users from different legal traditions may not be on the same page as to how an arbitral tribunal ought to proceed in this regard.

What’s in this book:

This book addresses the following key concepts and issues related to evidence in arbitration:

• the normative framework on evidence in arbitration proceedings
• the burden and standard of proof
• means of evidence, including documents, experts, and witnesses
• questions of admissibility, including issues of privilege and confidentiality
• the assessment of evidence and its probative value, and
• court assistance and sanctions

How this will help you:

With its in-depth and systematic analysis of the key concepts of evidence, holistic discussion of the applicable normative framework, cross-cultural perspectives on the taking of evidence in arbitration, and reference to case law from major arbitration hubs, this book will prove to be a matchless and undisputed point of reference for academics and practitioners alike.
