Sweden is one of a handful of countries where the international arbitral  process has reached a stage where the jurisprudence is replete with instances  involving no local parties at all. Due in all likelihood to this context of  especially credible neutrality, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) has  emerged as a leading global arbitral institution. Whether the matter at issue  is a business transaction dispute or a politicized conflict involving obdurate  parties, the richness of its body of decided cases manifests the SCC's  authority and reliability throughout the converging world of international  arbitration.   The present book, written by thirteen eminent practitioners, provides a  practical guide to international arbitration in Sweden, whether ad hoc or  institutional. Among the many elements of practice and procedure detailed are  the following: ;    appointment, challenge, removal, and compensation of arbitrators;     use of international legal sources such as IBA guidelines;     choice of law by parties;     SCC rules and procedures;     multiparty arbitrations--joinder, intervention, consolidation;     confidentiality;     documentary evidence, witnesses, and experts;     grounds for setting aside;     party succession;     Swedish court review of the arbitrator's jurisdiction; and     appeal of arbitrators' compensation.       In addition, readers will be exposed to a trove of pertinent references to  important dispositions that have in recent decades been generated by the  stream of major international arbitrations conducted in Sweden.       Disputing parties wishing to know what will happen when their case is brought  to Sweden for arbitration will find no clearer or more thorough guide. This  book is an incomparable source for anyone called upon to act as arbitrator or  counsel, or in any other capacity, in an international arbitration in Sweden.
