The worlds of insolvency and international arbitration have an inherent collision course, coming as they do from very different perspectives but as the business world faces an increasing number of challenges, we are having to look far more closely at how the two co-exist and work together. Richard Bamforth and Kushal Gandhi lead a team of experts from across the two disciplines to consider the effect of insolvency on arbitration agreements; the developing legal theories on the types of matters which are capable of being arbitrated; the issues arising from party insolvency during the course of ongoing arbitral proceedings; and how insolvency affects a person's ability to enforce their arbitral award.
Key Features:

Analyses the impact of foreign insolvencies on England-seated arbitration and English statutory adjudication

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The field of international arbitration in and of itself is a complex one, involving as it does different legal regimes, the application of which can yield different outcomes. Layered on top of the substantive law complexities are procedural issues and the brain-twisting questions associated with determining which issues are substantive and which are procedural, while some may be both. These complexities become all the more tangled where one of the parties is insolvent, and may have invoked bankruptcy protections in different jurisdictions. Bamforth and Gandhi's book serves as a guide to untying the Gordian Knot that often presents itself when insolvent parties arbitrate. The chapters individually and collectively are well-organized and didactic. The individual authors' experience as arbitrators and counsel in this complex area shines through and makes the book a deserving addition to any serious practitioner's library.' -- Arif Hyder Ali, Chair, International Arbitration and Public International Group
