Amendments to the ICC Rules of Arbitration have been made with the aim of further increasing the efficiency and transparency of ICC arbitrations. The revised rules apply from 1 March 2017. They provide for expedited procedure rules for cases of lower value. The main changes will be introduced with a strong focus on features of the expedited procedure including substantive and procedural aspects.
Qatar has been one of the fastest growing arbitration jurisdictions in the region with Qatari parties increasingly opting for ICC arbitration. The new arbitration law will further strengthen Qatar as a hub of arbitration. The panel will explore to what extent the new law will address the remaining challenges in international arbitration and particularly in ICC proceedings.
This programme will benefit practicing lawyers, arbitrators, magistrates, engineers, academics, corporate counsel and LL.M. students.
