The International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA) Presents 16th Annual International Arbitration Conference: Limits and Obstacles to Arbitration

Many national courts in various jurisdictions across the globe are currently experiencing major backlogs when it comes to the average case processing time.  Consequently, for many commercial entities, arbitration has become increasingly more appealing as a means of resolving disputes more swiftly. However, a party seeking to utilise this faster dispute resolution process may come across several impediments, such as the non-arbitrability of the claim, jurisdictional objections, or a subsequent challenge to the validity of the award.

The arbitration law track will discuss the applicability and accessibility of arbitration now and in the future, with focus on the issues of arbitrability, jurisdiction, and the possibility of setting aside arbitral awards.
