Choice of Forum: Commercial Court or Arbitration? (Part 1) In recent years, we've seen significant development and reorientation of specialized commercial courts, enhancing their role in handling complex commercial disputes. Notable examples include the Commercial Court in London, the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC), the courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), China's International Commercial Courts, and the Netherlands Commercial Court (NCC)& (NCCA). These forums are tailored to international business needs, offering specialized expertise and enhanced procedural efficiency issues . While ongoing debates exist about the merits of commercial litigation versus arbitration, this post focuses on enforcement. Commercial courts are well versed in mainly resolving disputes, with domestic elements, yet may have difficulty with international enforcement. Arbitration, on the other hand, has distinct advantages, particularly through the 1958 New York Convention, which streamlines the global recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. Unlike arbitration, enforcing court judgments lacks a universal framework and relies on a few limited mechanisms, such as the Brussels Regulation, the Hague Choice of Court Convention or various bilateral treaties. The choice between litigation and arbitration is critical for companies doing business internationally. This choice significantly impacts their dispute resolution strategies and outcomes, affecting their global operations and legal risks. #InternationalDisputeResolution, #CommercialCourts , #Arbitration , #LegalInsights #GlobalBusiness , #EnforcementStrategy ,#LegalTrends HCLA-NETWORK , TGG Team (HCLA) , BE-NEXEL

"How do the English arbitration reforms apply to international arbitration?" I hope this ICC guest blog provides a helpful summary of some of the main points and an interesting perspective.

How do the English arbitration reforms apply to international arbitration? In this fascinating guest blog, Wordley Partnership provide us with an insight into the current progress of reforming the Arbitration Act 1996, following the passing of its first reading in the House of Lords. Costas Frangeskides, Partner, Wordley Partnership commented: “It has been proposed that the reforms would only apply to arbitration agreements entered into after the date of the reformed Act; this would mean that parties would continue to observe the Enka regime (as an example) in respects of the many arbitration agreements entered into before the Act comes into force which may be the subject of arbitration in the years to come.” Read the article below!

On 1 June 2024, the 2024 Administered Arbitration Rules of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre will come into effect. The 2024 Rules maintain HKIAC’s “light touch” approach to case administration, which respects party autonomy and has been a fundamental feature of HKIAC administered arbitrations. This means that parties who have adopted arbitration under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the arbitration commences can rest assured that the regime they have adopted continues to apply with no unforeseen drastic changes, while benefitting from enhancements and improvements. The key changes seek to enhance time and cost efficiency of arbitrations, protect their integrity, and promote diversity and greener arbitrations. Many of the changes incorporate HKIAC’s existing practices into the rules.
