The Ex Officio Power Of The Arbitrator To Raise New Issues Of Law In Islamic Finance Disputes, Mohamed Hassan

Theses and Dissertations

The legal nature of arbitration varies from the legal nature of litigation. While the judge derives his authority from the state power, the arbitrator derives his powers, in the first place, from the parties' agreement. The power of the court to raise new issues of law ex officio is widely recognized. When it comes to arbitration, the matter is more complicated. The ex officio power of the arbitrator to raise new issues of law is controversial in international commercial arbitration. The situation is even more complicated in contemporary Islamic finance disputes due to the nature of the applicable law to …

Repertoires Of Contention Between The Regime And Political Actors, Ereny Zarif
