James M. Turner QC is speaking at the LMAA and the CIArb London Branch’s joint seminar, which goes virtual this year.

The panel will address a topic which is controversial but may be one of the reasons why London is the world’s favourite seat for international commercial arbitrations: the availability of appeals from arbitral awards. It will look at the relative scarcity of appeals on points of law reaching the courts under the English Arbitration Act 1996, section 69, opt-outs (and opt-ins) under institutional rules and under expedited procedures, two-tier procedures in trade association arbitrations, and the Singapore government’s recent consultation on proposals for opt-ins for appeals from arbitrations seated there. The panel’s presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.

There will be no charge to attend this webinar.
