Latest Arbitration Q&As

Q&As
What are the sanctions in English law and arbitration for a party that has destroyed documentary evidence?
Q&As
Where an arbitrator, acting under the Arbitration Act 1966, has determined an open market rental value of a property following a disputed rent review, does the landlord require the permission of the court to ‘enforce an arbitration award’. The parties engaged in formal arbitration and a market value has been determined. The award was never challenged or appealed and is therefore binding. The landlord has therefore continued to demand rent at the new rental value. The tenant has fallen into arrears. Can the landlord simply issue a claim in the county court for those arrears, or does the landlord require permission to enforce the award of the arbitrator? The award was simply a declaration of the open market rental value—there was no award for payment of arrears, all of which accrued post-arbitration.
Q&As
If a party to an arbitration wished to make an appeal against the arbitrators final award, say on a point of law under section 69 of the Arbitration Act 1996, should the appeal be made to the County Court or the High Court or would either have jurisdiction to consider the appeal?

Investment

An investment will typically mean any type of property or interest held within the territory of the host state. This will often extend far beyond 'obvious' property, such as real estate or shares in a local company, to (depending upon the circumstances) other interests such as rights under a contract, intellectual property rights and private loans. As with the concept of 'investor,' in the modern commercial world what does and does not qualify as investment can be a complex question. The definition of 'investment' will vary between BITs.
