Season 7 Episode 4 - The Arbitrage Station

With a full suite of co-hosts, we tackle a question that has bothered us all: why do people confuse arbitration with arbitrage [TIME 34:12]? But before that, we engage in another Arbitration Book Club discussion, this time based on our reading of Mikaël Schinazi’s book The Three Ages of International Commercial Arbitration [TIME 03:31].

For those who, like us, remain confused please see the following dictionary definitions:

Arbitration: “[t]he formal process of having an outside person, chosen by both sides to a disagreement, end the disagreement“

Arbitrage: “[t]he method on the stock exchange of buying something in one place and selling it in another place at the same time, in order to make a profit from the difference in price in the two places“

Season 5 Episode 10 - The One with Jan Paulsson

The Arbitration Station Book Club is back! We have read The Unruly Notion of Abuse of Rights and we’re talking about that book together with none other than its author Jan Paulsson [TIME 0:14:45].

Season 3 Episode 12 - The Arbitration Book Club

The book club gets a mini-start with Arbitration Without Privity, a classic 1995 article by Jan Paulsson [TIME 11:27]. Then, we turn our attention to considerations of proportionality in investment arbitration [TIME 33:49].
