I recently completed a course content on "UNCITRAL International Commercial Arbitration" offered by the UNCITRAL: United Nations Commission on International Trade Law The Course modules focused on leading an understanding of the three major legal frameworks governing International Commercial Arbitration; - The New York Convention of 1958 - the UNCITRAL Model Law of 1985 - The UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. I particularly gained knowledge about the different versions of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and its 2021 latest version. The 2021 version of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules does not necessarily make the previous versions inoperative. Rather, the version to be applied depends on the specific arbitration agreement and the intentions of the parties. Interestingly, the 2021 UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules incorporates the concept of "Expedited Arbitration". Expedited Arbitration allows parties to resolve their disputes quickly and efficiently, with a sole arbitrator and a streamlined process. This kind of Arbitration adopts the use of procedural timeline which includes deadlines for submission of statement, evidence and arguments. What a faster & cost-effective way for parties to resolve their disputes!😊 I equally learnt about key considerations for parties in deciding whether to opt for expedited Arbitration. I am grateful for this rewarding learning experience and I look forward to leveraging the knowledge gained to offer guidance on how to effectively resolve disputes, whilst saving time and resources. #UNCITRAL #InternationalCommercialArbitration #ExpeditedArbitration #DisputeResolution #Arbitration

On 1 June 2024, the 2024 Administered Arbitration Rules of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre will come into effect. The 2024 Rules maintain HKIAC’s “light touch” approach to case administration, which respects party autonomy and has been a fundamental feature of HKIAC administered arbitrations. This means that parties who have adopted arbitration under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the arbitration commences can rest assured that the regime they have adopted continues to apply with no unforeseen drastic changes, while benefitting from enhancements and improvements.
