In the contemporary world, people increasingly prefer alternative dispute resolution options to litigation in order to get more flexible process with quicker and cheaper results. One of the most recognizable forms of alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. The main benefits of arbitration are its neutrality of place, finality of process, flexibility, confidentiality, party autonomy, cost and time effectiveness, and finally its universally recognised process. However, lately arbitration has been criticizing for repeatedly extensions of deadlines by tribunals, recognitions of late evidences, acceptance of multiple amendments to a party’s written submissions and reschedule hearings by agreeing to last minute requests. This phenomenon is also known as due process paranoia. This article will emphasize the main reasons for due process from both respondents and arbitrators’ point of view. Moreover, the methods of improving the efficiency of arbitral proceedings and reducing cost and delay will be critically reviewed.

This introduction discusses arbitration as a method for resolving disputes. It first provides an overview of the advantages of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism and a brief historical background on the development of modern international arbitration before exploring the effects of arbitration agreements, taking into account the applicable law for the question of arbitrability (objective arbitrability and subjective arbitrability). It then considers two options between which parties can choose when deciding to settle their dispute by arbitration: institutional arbitration and ad hoc arbitration. It also analyses the parties’ right to choose—based on the principle of party autonomy—the place and language of arbitration, the substantive law applicable to the merits of the dispute, and number of arbitrators. Finally, it explains the applicable rules and general structure of arbitral proceedings as well as the enforceability of arbitral awards.

O Recurso Extraordinário 795.567/PR: análise dos fundamentos do Acórdão em face da natureza jurídica da Transação PenalThe Extraordinary Appeal 795,567/PR: analysis of the grounds of judgment from the perspective of the Criminal Consent Decree legal nature Everton Luis Comoreto[1]Karin Milene Bender[2]Paulo Eduardo de Almeida Vieira[3] RESUMO: O instituto da Transação Penal foi analisado sob o ponto de vista de sua natureza jurídica e os efeitos produzidos. Além disso foram analisados brevemente alguns conceitos básicos acerca a definição e origem do instituto da Transação.  Por fim, analisou-se de maneira também breve algumas teorias acerca da Jurisdição, em especial a voluntária, a fim de melhor conceituar a transação, em sentido amplo, como método autocompositivo de solução de litígios. Ainda, analisou-se as teorias acerca da ação penal e sentença condenatória para uma melhor percepção das suas diferenças para com o instituto da transação. Como finalização, utilizou-se os fundamentos expostos no Acórdão resultante do Recurso Extraordinário n. 795.567/PR, e que versou acerca da questão trazida inicialmente, isto é, a possibilidade ou não de se extrair os efeitos extrapenais da sentença homologatória da Transação Penal, confrontando-os com toda a teoria exposta, prevendo a possibilidade da sua utilização como precedente em julgamentos futuros referentes ao tema. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Transação Penal. Autocomposição. Direito Processual Penal. ABSTRACT: The institute of Criminal Consent Decree (Transação Penal) was analyzed from the point of view of its legal nature and the effects produced. In addition, some basic concepts on the definition and origin of this institute were briefly analyzed. Finally, some theories on Jurisdiction were also briefly analyzed, especially the non-contentious one, in order to better conceptualize the criminal consent decree, in a broad sense, as a alternative dispute resolution method. It was also briefly examined some theories about criminal prosecution and enforceable judgment for a better perception of their differences to the criminal consent decree. At last, the expressed grounds brought in the Extraordinary Appeal 795,567/PR judgment, which dealt with the question initially raised, namely, the possibility to apply the non-criminal effects of a criminal sentence to a criminal consent decree ratification, were confronted with all the theory exposed, facing the possibility of its use as a precedent in future trials concerning the theme. KEYWORDS: Criminal Consent Decree.

For many executives and other participants in the mining industry, litigation or arbitration is an avenue of last resort; the resolution of disputes is a priority. This chapter focuses on the informal resolution of international or domestic disputes, often referred to as alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The various forms of ADR differ from international arbitration in that they provide for a non-binding means to assist the parties in attempting to reach an amicable consensual resolution of the dispute. While mediation and conciliation are the most widely used form of non-arbitration ADR, parties also use other forms of ADR such as expert determinations, mini-trials, and neutral evaluations. One of the incentives for parties to amicably resolve an intentional mining dispute is that it gives them the opportunity to restore or improve the original bargain. The final section of the chapter discusses the timing and procedural steps of ADR.

This chapter considers how arbitral proceedings unfold once the tribunal is constituted (as discussed in chapter 4), up until the deliberation phase (which is addressed in chapter 7). It starts by identifying the rules that govern the conduct of arbitral proceedings and then examines the interaction between those rules, before describing, by reference to current best practices, the different steps in a ‘standard’ international arbitration. The discussion illustrates, in particular, the articulation between fundamental principles of due process and the parties’ autonomy and arbitrators’ powers in organizing arbitral proceedings. The presentation of arbitral practice is supplemented by a number of model procedural documents: terms of reference for ICC arbitrations, terms of appointment, and a set of specific procedural rules suitable for both institutional and ad hoc arbitration, as well as a standard letter on the appointment of an arbitral secretary. The chapter’s final section is devoted to provisional measures.

The reach of privately ordered online content regulation is wide and deepening. It is deepening with reference to the internet’s protocol stack, migrating downward from the application layer into the network’s technical infrastructure, specifically, the Domain Name System (DNS). This chapter explores the recent expansion of intellectual property enforcement in the DNS, with a focus on associated due process and expressive harms. It begins with a technical explanation of the operation and governance of the DNS. It goes on to discuss existing and proposed alternative dispute resolution (ADR) regimes for resolving intellectual property complaints involving domain names. In doing so, it compares the long-running Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) for adjudicating trademark cybersquatting claims to newer ADR programmes targeting copyright infringement on websites underlying domain names.

Procedural due process requires all legal proceedings to be fair and that every party involved is given notice of the proceedings, are treated equally, and are given an opportunity to be heard and to deal with the case of its opponent before a decision is made by a lawfully constituted tribunal or decision maker. However, while the mandatory due process requirements are of utmost importance within international arbitration, where are its limits? How far shall the equal treatment and procedural fairness go, and can it happen at the expense of procedural efficiency? The users of international arbitration tend to be concerned on the delays and high expenses of arbitration. A recurrent complaint is the ‘judicialisation’ of arbitration; that the procedure is becoming as equally formal dispute resolution proceeding as litigation. Simultaneously, the international arbitration field has been promoting arbitral cost and time efficiency, by incorporating relevant provisions to national arbitration laws, institutional arbitration rules and to other soft law elements. This contribution addresses the balance between the requirements of due process and efficiency within international arbitration

AbstractAmong different methods which evaluate students’ performance and learning results at Master programmes in International Arbitration / Alternative Dispute Resolution is an open book exam. It helps check student’s knowledge as well as application of cognitive / intellectual / thinking skills and practical / professional / subject skills. Here examinees are allowed to use educational materials during the exam but they succeed only in case of thorough preparation of both a teacher and students, namely: adaptation of students to an open book exam format; development of necessary guidelines; determination of the targets which should be achieved; establishment of objective marking criteria; tailoring principles for reference materials selection; application of effective data retrieval methods and so on. A teacher must be ready to combat some potential problems which can arise while organizing an open-book exam: complete reliance on the prepared materials; poor time management of students; unfair competition (falsification of the material); corruption; cheating. In spite of some disadvantages, there is a list of an open exam advantages, prerogatively, stimulation of student intellectual vigour and application of theory into practice. An open book exam places the focus on higher abilities such as analysis, synthesis, compilation, interpretation, etc., making a student think deeply and creatively. The most important condition for successful open book exam is to outline the materials permitted for utilization in the classroom and insure their availability to the students, guaranteeing equality to every participant. It is proved that there is an urgent necessity to apply an open book exam as an assessment method at Master degree programmes in International Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
