Service Out Under The New Rules Of Court, Ian Mah, Aaron Yoong
Service Out Under The New Rules Of Court, Ian Mah, Aaron Yoong
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The new Rules of Court 2021 seek to provide a more accessible and efficient justice system. The extensiveness of the overhaul, however, brings with it as much unfamiliarity as excitement. This legislation comment examines the changes in the provisions governing service out of jurisdiction and argues that the textual changes also effect substantive changes to how the law is applied. This comment also explores the related issues on the grant of Mareva injunctions in aid of foreign proceedings under the new Rules of Court 2021.

The increasing number of sharia economic disputes as a result of sharia economic development causes alternative dispute resolution to be an option in resolving sharia disputes. Basyarnas and LAPS-OJK are sharia economic dispute resolution forums outside of litigation. From the results of the research, it is known that the National Basyarnas need to be strengthened against the implications of the unregistered Basyarnas in the LAPS-POJK list after the issuance of POJK No. 61 of 2020 jo. POJK No. 1 of 20014 concerning LAPS in the financial services sector. The mechanism for dispute resolution procedures at Basyarnas starts from the request …

Play On? An Evaluation Of Fifa's Legal Regime And Its Foundation In Alternative Dispute Resolution, Blaine Sanders, J.D. Candidate, 2023
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Few associate the Federation Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA, with its legal regime. Rather, and understandably so, sports fans and commentators tend to focus on World Cups, corruption, or even the FIFA video game. Yet, FIFA's role in the sport of soccer extends well beyond what receives the most commercial attention. FIFA shoulders the burden of regulating soccer's member associations, national teams, clubs, players, and countless other personnel through its FIFA Statutes. This is a considerable undertaking, which FIFA achieves through its comprehensive system of alternative dispute resolution.
Soccer is now a global business, largely due to the economic …
Provisional Measures In Aid Of Arbitration, Ronald A. Brand
Provisional Measures In Aid Of Arbitration, Ronald A. Brand
Articles
The success of the New York Convention has made arbitration a preferred means of dispute resolution for international commercial transactions. Success in arbitration often depends on the extent to which a party may secure assets, evidence, or the status quo between parties prior to the completion of the arbitration process. This makes the availability of provisional measures granted by either arbitral tribunals or by courts fundamental to the arbitration. In this Article, I consider the existing legal framework for provisional measures in aid of arbitration, with particular attention to the sources of the rules providing for such measures. Those sources …
K-Pop’S Secret Weapon: South Korea’S Criminal Defamation Laws, Rebecca Xu
K-Pop’S Secret Weapon: South Korea’S Criminal Defamation Laws, Rebecca Xu
San Diego International Law Journal
South Korea’s criminal defamation laws have long been considered an intrusion on the free speech rights of citizens, especially in regard to the usage by politicians against their opponents and journalists to suppress criticisms. This Comment considers the history and effects of these controversial defamation laws through the lens of recent scandals within the Korean entertainment industry, where regular citizens accusing Korean celebrities of past school violence are confronted with threats of defamation charges. To highlight the controversial nature of such laws, comparisons will be drawn between South Korea and other countries to highlight the restrictive nature of Korea’s laws.

Applying Arbitration To Settle Disputes In Administrative Contracts Under The New Saudi Government Tenders And Procurement Law, Maryam Radhyan Almutairi
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
Significant changes to the Kingdom’s legal system have been made in alignment with the Saudi vision 2030 to diversify the economy. One of the changes is the 2019 Government Tenders and Procurement (GTP) law that allows arbitration as a dispute resolution approach in administrative contracts. The research problem of focus was the limited understanding of Saudi Arabian legal professionals' perception of arbitration as a dispute resolution approach in administrative contracts under the GTP law. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand the perception of legal professionals in Saudi Arabia towards arbitration as a dispute resolution approach in …
Investment Court System (Ics) Sebagai Alternatif Baru Investor-State Dispute Settlement (Isds)
Investment Court System (Ics) Sebagai Alternatif Baru Investor-State Dispute Settlement (Isds)
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
One form of the impacts of economic globalization is the growing investment internationally. This is indicated by the increasing number of international agreements such as free trade agreements, multilateral investment agreements, bilateral investment agreements, and so on. Due to the developing of investments globally, a mechanism on international investment dispute resolution is certainly needed, but because of there is no international treaty on investment dispute settlement, then there is also no international investment court. So procedurally, the arbitration tribunals follow the established arbitration rules. Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is a treaty-based dispute resolution mechanism that found in many international investment …

The Hague Rules On Third-Party Joinder: A Revised Framework, Emma Macfarlane
The Hague Rules On Third-Party Joinder: A Revised Framework, Emma Macfarlane
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
This paper critically assesses the Hague Rules’ stance on third-party joinder. Third-party joinder is an important feature in business human rights disputes. It is a mechanism that victims of human rights abuses can use to bring claims against corporate defendants where the victims do not otherwise have an underlying agreement on which to base their claim. Keeping in line with traditional conceptions of commercial arbitration, the Hague Rules are grounded in party consent to arbitrate. Conceptions of consent therefore have an outsized impact on the universe of parties who can bring actions against corporations before arbitral tribunals for human rights …
Crisis, Continuity, And Change In International Investment Law And Arbitration, Valentina Vadi
Crisis, Continuity, And Change In International Investment Law And Arbitration, Valentina Vadi
Michigan Journal of International Law
The dialectic between continuity and change lies at the heart of international law, which seeks to foster peaceful, just, and prosperous relations among nations. International law endeavors to govern the future by applying, in the present, norms that are inherited from the past. Nonetheless, everything flows and in an ever-changing world, some change is needed within the international legal system to ensure its stability especially in time of crisis. Not only can crises constitute means for the development of international law, but they can test, undermine or ultimately buttress the structure of international law. This article explores the connection between …
Issues Surrounding The South China Sea Dispute, Motoyasu Nozawa
Issues Surrounding The South China Sea Dispute, Motoyasu Nozawa
Japanese Society and Culture
On 12 July 2016, the decision of the South China Sea Arbitration1 (The Republic of the Philippines against the People’s Republic of China) by a tribunal created under Annex Ⅻ to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was a near-complete victory for the Philippines. This arbitration concerned the role of historic rights and the source of maritime entitlements in the South China Sea, the status of certain maritime features and the maritime entitlements they are capable of generating, and the lawfulness of certain actions by China that were alleged by the Philippines to violate the Convention. …
The Value And Viability Of The South China Sea Arbitration Ruling: The U.S. Perspective 2016–2020, Jonathan G. Odom
The Value And Viability Of The South China Sea Arbitration Ruling: The U.S. Perspective 2016–2020, Jonathan G. Odom
International Law Studies
In 2016, an international arbitral tribunal issued a landmark ruling addressing a number of international law issues in the South China Sea. Yet more than four years have passed since that ruling, and the South China Sea situation remains unresolved. The South China Sea arbitration ruling was a positive step in applying a rules-based approach to framing, managing and resolving some of these international disputes. Thus, the international community should reflect upon the value and viability of the arbitral tribunal’s ruling, to include viewing it from the current perspectives of individual States. This article provides a more detailed review and …

The Rise Of Transnational Commercial Courts: The Astana International Financial Centre Court, Ilias Bantekas
The Rise Of Transnational Commercial Courts: The Astana International Financial Centre Court, Ilias Bantekas
Pace International Law Review
The proliferation of international commercial courts aims to boost income from legal services and serve as a catalyst for newly found rules of law and thus attract investor confidence. The latter is the underlying purpose for the creation of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) and its Court. The Court’s legal framework is set out in the tradition of its competitors in the Gulf and similarly employs an impressive lineup of former senior judges from the United Kingdom. It is a unique experiment because it strives to create a balance between maintaining a judicial institution of the highest caliber while …
Compelling Parties To Mediate Investor-State Disputes: No Pressure, No Diamonds?, James M. Claxton
Compelling Parties To Mediate Investor-State Disputes: No Pressure, No Diamonds?, James M. Claxton
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
There was nothing preordained about arbitration becoming shorthand for investor-state dispute settlement. The ICSID system was built on the assumption that disputing parties would choose conciliation to settle their disputes. Those expectations went unrealized as arbitration rose to prominence, and since that time institutions, parties, and academics have observed that facilitated negotiation could play a greater role in resolving investor-state disputes. A number of domestic court systems have made mediation part of the fabric of dispute resolution through incentives and compulsions to mediate. Drawing on this experience, this manuscript considers how obstacles to the uptake of investor-state mediation might be …

“The U.S. won a $7.5 Billion award from the World Trade Organization against the European Union, who has for many years treated the USA very badly on Trade due to Tariffs, Trade Barriers, and more. This case going on for years, a nice victory”, tweeted President Trump’s on October 3, 2019. The United States (US) won not only the highest amount of retaliation ever adjudicated in the history of the WTO but also an ongoing right to retaliate on an annual basis until such time as the EU had complied by either removing the subsidies it granted Airbus or somehow …

International investment disputes involving African states before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) have generated significant critical inquiry. Yet, accounts of their contribution to the development of international investment law as a result of these dispute are limited. This article addresses this gap. It examines the contribution of some of the high-profile ICSID disputes involving African states to the development of international investment law. Notwithstanding the charges against African States in ICSID, I contend that the involvement of African States in ICSID Disputes has contributed to the development of international investment law. In particular, the jurisprudence that …

People may initial not see the area known as the South China Sea as worthy of the trouble of an Arbitral Tribunal proceeding courtesy of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), especially when they are unsure of the trouble it may bring. This area, rich in resources and firmly entrenched in various historical claims, became the subject of controversy between multiple nations. According to the NUS Centre for International Law in its book The South China Sea Arbitration: The Legal Dimension, the end to the controversy hinged on how the tribunal would choose to characterize …
Consenting To Counterclaims Under The Icsid Convention, Harshad Pathak
Consenting To Counterclaims Under The Icsid Convention, Harshad Pathak
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Counterclaims in investment treaty arbitration hold immense significance. Counterclaims have the potential to nullify biases and bolster the confidence of States in investment treaty arbitration. That being said, the multitude of jurisdictional hurdles faced by counterclaims under the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (ICSID Convention) risk dampening the aforementioned potential. It is two of these hurdles emanating from the consensual nature of arbitration that I address herein. Part II of this article commences by analyzing the provisions of the ICSID Convention to derive the prerequisites of a valid counterclaim in investment …

Alternatives To Investor-State Dispute Settlement, Lise Johnson, Jesse Coleman, Brooke Güven, Lisa E. Sachs
Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications
Proponents often explain support for international investment agreements (IIAs) for their ability to: (1) promote investment flows; (2) depoliticize disputes between investors and states; (3) promote the rule of law; and (4) provide compensation for certain harms to investors – objectives of varying degrees of importance to multinational enterprises, home states, host states, and other stakeholders.
While each of these objectives may seem desirable, it is important to consider what exactly they mean and whether IIAs are optimally tailored to achieve them.
This two-part series aims to consider just that. In the first blog installment, we asked of investor-state dispute …
Cybersecurity And The Protection Of Digital Assets: Assessing The Role Of International Investment Law And Arbitration, Julien Chaisse, Cristen Bauer
Cybersecurity And The Protection Of Digital Assets: Assessing The Role Of International Investment Law And Arbitration, Julien Chaisse, Cristen Bauer
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
The digital era provides many opportunities, yet it also presents several unique challenges with regard to cybersecurity and the protection of digital assets. Cybercrime has changed the international legal landscape as nations, businesses, and legislators grapple with how to deal with this rapidly evolving, multifaceted problem. As there is no international mechanism for protection of foreign investors in this regard, some scholars are advocating for the use of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) as part of a 'olycentric" approach to cyber peace. With an uptick in digital development and more development on the horizon, it will be important to establish what …

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
This paper will examine the challenges of international compulsory licensing by examining the issue historically and legally as well as offer possible solutions. Thus, this paper will explore the challenge of balancing corporate interests against the affordability and availability of pharmaceuticals by focusing on discrete situations in developing countries, the history of compulsory licensing, and how the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) and the WTO have attempted to tackle these challenges through compulsory licensing, and it will suggest a possible framework for use in arbitration, which balances equities through a Georgia-Pacific analysis.

As tensions between investors’ rights and sovereign power escalate, investor-state dispute settlement has become a focal point of backlash and controversy. As a result, ISDS now embodies two opposing currents in international law: (i) the erosion of sovereignty that accompanied economic globalization, trade frameworks, and investment treaties following the Second World War and (ii) more recently, reassertions of sovereignty prompted by recent backlashes against the global economic order. This Article measures and evaluates outcomes of the ISDS system for sovereign participants. Using the best available data, this Article contributes more detailed assessments of sovereign winners (home states of claimants) and …

Sifting Through The Arbitrators For The Woman, The Minority, The Newcomer, Douglas Pilawa
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
This Note examines the process of choosing an arbitrator in international arbitration. Much of the debate and criticism of this process addresses the lack of diversity in arbitral tribunals around the world. Diversity in this context means not only traditional diversity (i.e. gender, race, ethnicity), but also the basic idea of adding "fresh faces " to arbitral tribunals. Yet the ethical obligation to provide a client with the best chance to prevail encourages counsel to choose a familiar, wellknown name with an established "track record" over a littleknown "dark horse. " This tension illustrates a fundamental point of friction in …
