Disputes don’t get quarantined: indeed, COVID-19 has given rise to numerous commercial and corporate disputes around the globe, while at the same time reducing possibilities to meet in person to resolve these disputes, and thwarting proceedings that have already begun.

Join the live debate on the most important legal challenges and best practice responses to this question, including discussion of:
Validity and enforceability of the arbitral award
Right to be heard and ordre public: online hearings as “hearings” in legal terms
Assuring consent of the parties to online proceedings
Arbitral tribunals’ powers to order online hearings absent party consent
Specific online “guerrilla tactics” and possible sanctions
Taking evidence online
Best online practices to safeguard the arbitration procedure and the award
