This chapter examines the Brazilian Arbitration Law (BAL) of 1996. The BAL is a standalone act encompassing roughly 40 articles. It is divided into eight chapters and is applicable to both domestic and international arbitration, except for Chapter VI (The Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Awards), which is modelled on the New York Convention (NYC). Hence, the BAL legislator adopted a monistic approach. Consequently, the BAL contains no definition of domestic or international arbitration, but only defines the term foreign award. According to article 34, sole paragraph BAL, an award is considered a foreign award if it was rendered outside the territory of Brazil. The present translation of the BAL builds on the terminology of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Commercial Arbitration and the NYC because both documents inspired the authors of the BAL and are cornerstones of international arbitration. This chapter of the book then provides comments on the BAL article by article.

This chapter contains an analysis of the most appropriate way to determine the applicable attorney–client privilege standard in international commercial arbitration. To this end, this chapter deals with the characterization of privilege as substantive or procedural, the legal framework for attorney–client privilege in international commercial arbitration, international mandatory rules of law, and the enforcement regime under the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958. Against this background, the chapter includes an analysis of the possible approaches to determining the privilege standard. These include the application of general principles of law, the application of a single national law determined through a choice-of-law approach such as the closest connection test, the cumulative application of several national laws, and the creation of an autonomous standard defining the scope of attorney–client privilege. Lastly, the chapter examines whether corrective measures, such as the lowest common denominator approach or the most protective rule, are needed to ensure equal treatment of the parties and fairness of the proceedings. This chapter concludes with key findings on how to determine the applicable attorney–client privilege standard in international commercial arbitration.

Abstract This article discusses the possible effects that a party’s lack of funds can have on the arbitration agreement. It explains the different theories used to deal with this issue and proposes to classify them into substantive and jurisdictional solutions, depending on whether they propose an actual answer or examine it from a competence–competence perspective, thus simply deferring the question to the arbitrators without further guidance. The former category can also be divided into two further subgroups, in accordance with the weight given to the contractual nature of arbitration or to its jurisdictional nature. Finally, the article proposes a uniform solution under the New York Convention, arguing that impecuniosity might fall under the ‘incapable of being performed’ exception of article II(3). It concludes by proposing a narrow construction of this exception and putting forward four factors that practitioners should consider when deciding whether impecuniosity can void or suspend the effects of arbitration agreements.
