Indian Perspective

International commercial arbitration is one of the most favourite mode of dispute resolution in world for resolving commercial disputes. Speed and cost are two important features what makes arbitrationa sought-after mode for dispute resolution because in conventional dispute resolution by courts ‘Remedy becomes worse than malady’ due to delay and cost. Legalism and authoritative courts in Anglo Saxon societies make the justice dilatory and expensive which is termed analogically as a disease of ‘Adversariasis’. Judicial minimalism is encouraged by entrepreneurs and business class of world which results in enhanced thrust on international commercial arbitration. In any arbitration interim measures are sine quo non. The irreparable loss and balance of convenience demands intervention by authoritative body to order and issue processes which can binds parties and third parties. In such cases unless interim measures are sought by municipal national courts no effective and binding interim remedies can be granted to the parties and third parties. The arbitrator once appointed is competent enough to grant interim measures and it can also decide about its jurisdiction based on doctrine of Kompetenz-Kompetenz. However, if before the appointment of arbitrator, the need of urgent interim measures arises then obviously parties have to go to the municipal national courts but this judicial intervention is not the intent of parties as they are seeking judicial minimalism. In such situations the urgent interim measures can be granted by emergency arbitrator. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is silent about emergency arbitrator but Delhi and Bombay High Courts have given some pragmatic judgments, making the provision of emergency arbitrator, a reality. The real problem in emergency arbitrator is how one can grant interim relief even without being in existence i.e. when arbitrator itself is non est. ICC, SIAC and LCIA provide for emergency arbitrator. In this paper the author has tried to make an analytical and comparative overview of emergency arbitrator in Indian Perspective.

International Chamber Of Commerce

This chapter traces the development of international commercial arbitration, which is often presented as a response to the demand for law and dispute resolution created naturally by an increase in transnational commerce and investment. Indeed, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris was relatively marginal from its establishment in 1923 until the increase in global trade and commerce that came in the 1970s and 1980s. The demand naturally created the supply. Based on the recognition that this market was not inevitable, it has been argued that the rise of international commercial arbitration depended on institutional entrepreneurs around the ICC. The chapter then looks at how the relatively marginal group around the ICC that Sgard studies gained credibility and acceptance from both multinational enterprises and developing countries.

The World

If an international trade dispute occurs, so that the ways of resolution can be reached through non-litigation (alternative litigation) or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The facilities classified as ADR other than Arbitration facilities as contained in Article 6 of Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution which includes facilities including Meditation facilities, Negotiation facilities, Consolidation facilities, and other facilities. Based on the Arbitration Law it provides an opportunity to resolve trade disputes through the Arbitration institution and it is very appropriate if this institution has a very important role in resolving disputes that occur in the world of international trade. The scope of disputes which can be tried in a trial of the International Commercial Arbitration institution must be related to the issue of trade, finance and general trading (commerce), while those relating to other matters have nothing to do at all.

International Commercial Arbitration although enjoying a long pedigree, has only recently become a "hot topic." This is due to the growing trends towards institutionalizing and unifying ICA processes. These trends are signified by the rise in private, neutral arbitration institutions and by the adoption, in many states, of international conventions and model laws. The unification of laws is the most recent process in this trend. These trends are all examined in some detail. It is noted how the lex arbitri, or law of the situs of the arbitration, can affect the rules and procedures of the arbitration. The UNCITRAL Model Law is examined as the key example of the unification of laws movement. The alternative dispute resolution provision of NAFTA is also commented on. The authors then focus specifically on Canada's contributions to and participation in ICA. In an important closing section, Canadian jurisprudence interpreting the new Canadian ICA legislation is comprehensively surveyed. The authors conclude by giving an outlook on the future of ICA and Canada's role therein.
