Handbook of ICC Arbitration: Commentary, Precedents, Materials

This text is a practical, rule-by-rule guide to the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, one of the world's leading international arbitration institutions.
It is for both the experienced practitioner and those approaching international arbitration for the first time, clearly explaining basic principles while at the same time providing the depth of analysis and references needed to solve the complex procedural issues that can arise during the arbitration process.
The chapters follow the Rules of the ICC, each one setting out the relevant principles in plain English, before dealing with more complicated issues of interpretation, providing reference to discussions of the issues by other authors and to relevant case law and awards.
