Introduction In the last 12 months, there seems to have been a uptick in challenges to arbitration awards, including several appeals on the law in shipping/ shipbuilding cases and even some successful s.68 challenges. Our expert panel will be discussing the theory and the practice of challenging awards in London, including:
The recent learning on s.67, s.68 and s.69. When might a challenge succeed? What happens next if it does?
The practicalities of bringing and defending challenges: how to maximise your chance of getting the right outcome.
How P&I clubs deal with backing challenges and defending awards.
What arbitrators expect when challenges are made to their awards and how they can assist: s.57 and remission to the Tribunal.
