In association with London Arbitration Week, our panel of speakers will share their insights on the evolving and sometimes divergent role of national courts of leading arbitral seats in supporting or intervening in the arbitral process.

The session will be moderated by Jim Cormack KC.

Join us for the session where our panellists examine the following topics.

  • Anti-suit & freezing injunctions: Comparing English, French and Singaporean court approaches in cross-border disputes.
  • Jurisdictional challenges: Recent English, French, Singaporean and Middle East rulings on setting aside awards and tribunal remission - balancing finality and fairness.
  • Fraud allegations: Their role in prompting judicial intervention in arbitration outcomes.
  • The English Arbitration Act reform: Implications for court powers and arbitral independence.

Following the panel discussion, there will also be an opportunity to network with your fellow industry professionals.
