Commercial Arbitration in Sweden

Sweden has since long been a favored location for international arbitration and the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce a favored arbitration institution. Finn Madsen's highly praised Commercial Arbitration in Sweden is a "ready-reference" handbook covering all cases and commentary relevant to arbitration in Sweden. Madsen comments not only on the Swedish Arbitration Act (SAA) and the Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC Rules) in the context of Swedish case law, but also provides appropriate references to international commentary. Importantly for international arbitrators and practitioners, since most international arbitrations in Sweden are conducted under the auspices of the SCC Rules, it is relevant that Madsen provides a reference to and comments upon the relevant SCC Rules in conjunction with the corresponding provisions of the SAA. Madsen aims to help practitioners "in search of rapid guidance regarding the interpretation of a particular provision...or who wish to solve a practical problem."
