11th ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION ACT 1996
IS ENGLISH LAW REALLY BETTER?
Monday 21 January 2007, 09.00 -18.00 followed by a Drinks Reception and Gala Dinner
Venue:
The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, London, WC2A 3TL
The 2007 annual review of the English Arbitration Act 1996 proposes a comparative look at developments in England as the courts now approach 1,000 decided cases since entry into force of the Act. This year's review takes place against the background of claims by the Law Society (England and Wales: The Jurisdiction of Choice, October 2007) that London as an arbitration venue and English law are superior to civil law jurisdictions in terms of quality of legal norms, certainty, predictability, arbitration friendliness, lawyers and infrastructure. Are the Law Society's claims legitimate or merely an expression of legal ethnocentrism by practitioners unfamiliar with systems of law other than their own?
Speakers include:
|
Lord Mustill Essex Court Chambers |
Lord Justice Rix Court of Appeal |
After dinner speaker: M. Jean-Pierre Ancel Pr?dent de Chambre honoraire de la Cour de cassation, France
"Les principes confirm?et les nouvelles avanc? dans l'arbitrage international"
