Season 4 Episode 11 - The Force Majeure

Sitting in the same room for once, we talk about transparency in investment arbitration (specifically the tribunal’s power to order it, as highlighted in the majority v. dissent in Rand Investments v. Serbia) [TIME 11:11]. Then, in these Covid times, we talk about how the current virus scare might lead to disputes under force majeure clauses in contracts [TIME 32:53]. Happy Fun Time is (once again) Brian Kotick show - to open plan or not to open plan? [Time 51:45].

Episode 13 - The Dissenting Opinions

As advertised earlier, we spend quite some time on dissenting opinions in arbitration - good, bad and ugly ones. Furthermore, can/should arbitrators be compelled to take the witness stand in domestic court, to talk about deliberations? Finally, we have a Happy Fun Time talking about the myriad of professional organisations out there.
