One objective of the revised South African market conduct regulatory framework for the financial sector is to introduce an effective dispute resolution framework. The Financial Sector Regulation Act, and the Act to follow the Draft Conduct of Financial Institutions Bill, potentially address some of the deficiencies associated with the old dispute resolution framework. This article makes a distinction between the old and new regulatory provisions concerning internal dispute resolution and external dispute resolution structures in the banking sector. This research highlights the changes involved in the new regulatory framework and identifies which aspects of the amended regulatory framework aim to address a particular issue associated with the old dispute resolution framework. It is not argued whether this legislation will achieve the fair treatment and protection of financial customers in the banking sector, as only time will tell. However, it is acknowledged that the new structure will improve consistency and efficacy in this dispute resolution structure.

SummaryGreat efforts have been made by representatives of a multitude of countries to rectify the situation currently confronting parties, whether they be private individuals or states, that seek the return of stolen or illegally exported cultural objects. The organization UNIDROIT has been at the forefront of that effort. In June of 1995, representatives of over seventy states met in Rome and adopted the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. The UNIDROIT Convention will enter into force as it is ratified by individual states.The UNIDROIT Convention provides a claimant of a Contracting State with the option of using arbitration to settle its dispute. Until now, there has been little discussion of the advantages that international arbitration can bring to this domain. This article focuses on the benefits of international arbitration in facilitating the resolution of cultural property disputes. It presents an in-depth analysis of the text of the UNIDROIT Convention in the context of existing regulations in this area. It then examines three different approaches to international arbitration. These models serve to highlight the particular characteristics of this dispute resolution mechanism that make it ideally suited to cultural property disputes.

This chapter discusses arbitration for international mining disputes. Such disputes often involve parties from different countries often with different legal systems and cultures. Arbitration in a neutral forum, with independent and impartial decision-makers, as opposed to litigation in the national courts of one party or the other, is, in most cases, the preferred international dispute resolution mechanism. Some of the more well-known international institutions include the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The remainder of the chapter provides a general overview of the role of national courts in connection with the international arbitration process and some of the primary issues that involve consideration by national courts.

This article explores the role of emotion in the capital penalty‐phase jury deliberations process. It is based on the qualitative analysis of data from ninety video‐recorded four to seven person simulated jury deliberations that examined the influence of race on death sentencing outcomes. The analysis explores when and how emotions are expressed, integrated into the jury's sentencing process, and deployed in penalty‐phase decision making. The findings offer critical new insights into the role that emotion plays in influencing these legal judgments by revealing how jurors strategically and explicitly employ emotion in the course of deliberation, both to support their own positions and neutralize or rebut the opposing positions of others. The findings also shed light on the various ways that white male capital jurors utilize a panoply of powerful emotion‐based tactics to sway others to their position in a manner that often contributes to racially biased outcomes.
