Across 18 chapters, and spanning 120 pages, this edition provides an invaluable retrospective from 39 leading figures.
Together, our contributors capture and interpret the most substantial recent international arbitration events of the year just gone, supported by footnotes and relevant statistics. Other articles provide valuable background so that you can get up to speed quickly on the essentials of a particular country as a seat.
This edition covers Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru and the United States; has overviews on nascent Brazilian jurisprudence on arbitration and corruption (in the wake of Operation Carwash) and on the coronavirus and investment arbitration, among other things; and an update on how Mexico’s federal courts are addressing the problem of personal injunctions against arbitrators that have brought Mexico grinding to a halt as a seat.
Among the other nuggets it contains:
- a discussion of the defences that states may lean on in public law to covid-19 claims. Are we on the verge of a lex pandemiae given the likely recurrence of certain questions?
- numerous real-life examples of coronavirus responses in the region that look ripe to found investment arbitration claims;
- extra questions that valuation experts need to ask when assessing a climate change-related
loss; - news that Bolivia may soon return to the investment arbitration fold;
- results of an (informal) survey on attitudes to mediation around Latin America, and whether
the region ‘needs’ the Singapore Convention on Mediation (spoiler alert: not really); and - a suggestion that the USMCA may not last much past the next round of North American elections, along with a forensic explanation of the changes it has introduced (and has not – for certain industries).
