About the Webinar
While the finality and binding effect of an arbitral award is rarely challenged, there continues to be differences of approaches taken by both courts at the seat as well as enforcement courts across different jurisdictions as to the standards of preclusion to be applied. There are also different views on the doctrine of abuse of the arbitration process, including the extended doctrine of res judicata, and whether a party is precluded from taking up issues in a second arbitration which could have been brought up in an earlier arbitration with the same party. This Webinar will discuss the traditional doctrine of res judicata in arbitration as well as the extended doctrine of res judicata.
More than 400 participants from 44 jurisdictions registered for this webinar.
