Über dieses E-Book

Each year, Stockholm is the arbitration seat of choice for numerous parties endeavouring to resolve international disputes. It is the second most used venue for investment disputes, and it is often the venue for disputes arising from the Energy Charter Treaty. This new annual publication, launched under the auspices of the Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law, is designed to meet the information needs of arbitration practitioners and parties from all over the world.

This first issue provides authoritative articles, some of them with a Swedish angle, that address current matters of global concern in arbitration, including the following:

• multi-appointment bias;
• cross-examination and advocacy in arbitration;
• due process – paranoia or prudence?;
• robots as arbitrators;
• security for costs and third-party funding in investment arbitration; and
• the ‘Arbitration Station’ podcast.

Recent developments in Swedish arbitration-related case law are summarized. The 2019 changes in the Swedish Arbitration Act are presented.

The Yearbook provides both perspective and detailed analyses that will be welcomed by arbitration practitioners, counsel, and judges deciding arbitration cases. It will also prove valuable insights for arbitration academics, in-house counsel at multinational companies, and arbitral institutions worldwide.
