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]. The second segment is some arbitration fundamenta: challenges of arbitrators [0:47:21], which is followed by a Happy Fun Time discussion on paralegals: how to be one, how to manage one and how to appreciate them all [1:18:13]
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]. Happy Fun Time is about wellness: how to stay healthy and sane in a fast-moving arbitration world? A hint: you do not have to be marathon runner (unless you want to) [TIME 53:50].
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.
