The workshop will be based on a real case brought under the Arbitration Rules of the German Institution of Arbitration (DIS), will follow the course of a real arbitration proceeding and is conducted in English. The participants will gain an insight into how an arbitration proceeding is commenced, the selection of arbitrators, drafting procedural orders and the preparation and  conduct of an oral hearing including witness and expert examination. The drafting of an arbitral award will also be discussed. The workshop will be interactive with a number
of group activities and active participation is encouraged.

DÜSSELDORF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION CONFERENCE: ARBITRATION IN TIMES OF CRISES

on FRIDAY, 30th September 2011, 9.30 a.m. - 4 p.m.; Lunch included

at the Industrie Club, Düsseldorf

MORNING PANEL: INVESTMENT ARBITRATION IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
The level of protection for international investments that  investors may legitimately expect in arbitration proceedings under the corresponding treaties may vary due to the general circumstances in the country at issue. In emergency situations, considerations of necessity may be taken into account and  eliminate or reduce the claims for compensation that investors would otherwise be able to raise. However, in this regard very  much depends on the concrete parameters of the situation.  Natural disasters evoke different implications than civil strife,  external war or purely economical pressure. The Argentinean debt crisis has so far been the only major event to trigger  considerable case law in investment arbitration. But as  emergency situations of all sorts abound, the question how to  deal with them before international tribunals when investors  claim damages that somehow result from them will play a much bigger role in the future.

AFTERNOON PANEL:
ARBITRATION IN (RE-)INSURANCE MATTERS: GROWING PRESSURE OR BUSINESS AS USUAL?
The global reinsurance market has used arbitration as its  traditional method of dispute resolution for a long time.  However, actual disputes have only recently become more  commonplace among the large players. This is especially true for Germany where reinsurance arbitration has been growing for several years and can be expected to grow further in light of recent natural disasters and the increasing competition on the market. It is therefore timely to discuss recent trends and  recurring issues in (re)insurance arbitration. One topic to be discussed in our panel will be the form and content of arbitration clauses in re-insurance contracts. Typically, these clauses refer to ad hoc-arbitration and are rather lengthy and
complex. This may lead to many practical problems as the panel discussion will show.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek (Düsseldorf)
