About this book: Jurisdiction, Admissibility and Choice of Law in International Arbitration , as the name suggests, discusses the jurisdiction, admissibility and choice of law provisions applied in the arbitration. These three elements play a prominent role in administering arbitration proceedings and are oft-cited in several awards and court decisions, particularly in cases transcending boundaries. In light of the growing demand for international arbitration, there is a need for literature to discuss these elements and analyse how they are applied across various jurisdictions. Although there are books available on each of these factors separately, this book specializes in analysing all these three aspects together. This book is a collection of essays in honour of the distinguished international lawyer Michael Pryles, who launched a meteoric career as an arbitrator after many years of teaching and writing on conflicts of law and other topics and made a mark on arbitral law and practice that is recognized worldwide. What's in this book: In this book, over forty prominent arbitrators and arbitration scholars offer insightful essays on the above-mentioned thorny matters and examine specific issues and topics such as the following: res judicata; investment arbitration; free trade agreements; party autonomy; application of provisional measures; issue estoppel; evidentiary inferences; interim measures; emergency and default proceedings; the intersection of financing and jurisdiction; consolidation of cases; and non-contractual claims. How this will help you: Remarkable for its roster of highly distinguished contributors, this book is the only in-depth treatment of its subject. By turns thought-provoking and practical, this book is bound to appeal to and be put to use by arbitrators and other lawyers, who handle international cases, to gain insight into the factors involved in affecting arbitral decisions. This book also proves to be of great value to global law firms and companies doing transnational business to confidently maze through the complex arbitral laws around the globe and is of great academic interest.
