During the webinar, the panel will discuss the following questions:
- Does the fact that an issue that was not disclosed by an arbitrator have a bearing on whether or not a challenge is sustained?
- What is your view on ‘double-hatting’ as counsel and arbitrator or as expert and arbitrator?
- Is an arbitrator's purely professional relationship with an expert a relevant factor?
- What role are courts, arbitral tribunals, and arbitral institutions playing in arbitral challenges?
- To what extent are abuse of process challenges really a problem, and how can that problem be rectified?
