The Arbitral Award In The Matter Of The South China Sea Between The Philippines And China What Are The Implications For Freedom Of Navigation And The Use Of Force?, Cameron Moore

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This article considers the implications of the Award for freedom of navigation and the use of force in the South China Sea, identifying the conclusions that can be drawn from the Award and the questions that remain. The Award also indirectly raised the question of the use of force to defend navigational rights. This article therefore revisits the Corfu Channel Case for the light it may shed on the use of force and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. This leads to questions of the danger of miscalculation and the potential importance of the Code for Unplanned Encounters …

How To Write A Romp That Avoids A Bad Sex In Fiction Award, Catherine Cole

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Catherine Cole Professor in Creative Writing, Liverpool John Moores University Academic rigour, journalistic flair The annual Bad Sex in Fiction award is enough to put any writer off writing a sex scene. This year’s examples are as cringeworthy as those of previous years. It’s not that the authors aren’t trying to get it right; a good sex scene is just very difficult to write. Writers often find themselves caught between the cloying pages of a Harlequin romance and the thrust and grind of porn.

The Churchie Art Award For Emerging Artists, Teo Treloar

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In contemporary art and culture, we are living within a constant flood of images, diluting our attention spans. Wollongong-based artist Teo Treloar would like to challenge our state, and to bring us back to central focus. He practices in painting and drawing, usually within an intimate scale, and uses a muted colour palette and minimal, relaxed tones.

Convention Violations And Investment Claims, William W. Park

Faculty Scholarship

In theory, treaty commitments remain a foundation of international law, often expressed in the adage pacta sunt servanda: ‘agreements are to be kept’.1 In practice, however, some treaty violations remain without realistic sanctions. Here as elsewhere, the divergence between theory and practice remains greater in practice than in theory.

Prejudgment Interest In International Arbitration, Jeffrey M. Colon, Michael S. Knoll

All Faculty Scholarship

Tribunals in international arbitration are regularly asked by claimants to award prejudgment interest. Unless foreclosed by an agreement between the parties, there is widespread agreement prejudgment interest should put the claimant in the same position as it would have been had it not been injured by the respondent. However, there is little consensus how to calculate prejudgment interest in order to accomplish that purpose. In this Essay, we describe the proper method of calculating prejudgment interest based on sound financial principles. Using the paradigm that the respondent has forced the claimant to make an involuntary loan to the respondent, we …

Only One Kick At The Cat: A Contextual Rubric For Evaluating Res Judicata And Collateral Estoppel In International Commercial Arbitration, Randy D. Gordon

Faculty Scholarship

Arbitration is the preferred method of resolving disputes arising out of international commercial transactions. It stands outside national legal systems because contracting parties agree in advance that they want neutral arbitrators — not local judges and juries — deciding who is at fault when a commercial relationship breaks down. But arbitration nevertheless butts up against litigation from time to time, often because one party attempts to arbitrate a matter that has been litigated to conclusion or vice versa. This article examines — through a contextual approach — questions of preclusion that thereby arise and ultimately suggests that res judicata and …

Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

A previous Grievance which alleged improper staffing was successful and resulted in an Award which required that the affected employees receive an offer for the positions they would have had if filled properly. The Arbitrator retained jurisdiction regarding the implementation of the Award. A subsequent hearing regarding the Grievor resulted in an order to offer her the position she had been denied. The Grievor accepted the position, but with her own conditions. This hearing is to consider if she accepted the position or, by adding conditions, rejected the offer.

Report To Law Revision Commission Regarding Recommendations For Changes To California Arbitration Law, Roger P. Alford

Journal Articles

In this Article, Professor Alford discusses a report by the Law Revision Commission recommending that certain changes be made to arbitration law in California. It begins by outlining the history of arbitration in California, from its 1961 adoption of the Uniform Arbitration Act, to the 1988 enactment of an international arbitration statute modeled on the UNCITRAL Model Law, to the 1989 enactment of Section 1281.8, which allowed courts to grants provisions remedies to parties involved in arbitration proceedings. It also provides a general overview of the purpose and practice of arbitration law. Then, it provides a chapter-by-chapter analysis the Law …

Re Nova Scotia Liquor Corp And Nsgeu, Local 470, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

This is a consent award. The parties are agreed that the Employer breached the Agreement by not posting full-time jobs in the warehouse.

The Employer agrees to post seven (7) full-time warehouseman positions, and two (2) conditional warehouseman positions on or before December 14, 2001. The Union waives any right to claim entitlement to further warehouseman postings over the review periods spanning 1998 through 2001. The parties agree to make their best efforts to resolve issues in upcoming bargaining negotiations. Failing agreement on the meaning of the term "non-overlapping hours", either party may grieve its interpretation.
