An indispensable guide for arbitrators, lawyers and anyone with an interest in  arbitration procedures. The aim of Arbitration and Oral Evidence,  prepared by the ICC Institute of World Business Law, is to give the reader a  thorough picture of the practical issues raised by the oral presentation of  evidence and to present a balanced series of solutions to the problems  involved. This is the second in a series of Dossiers from the ICC Institute.  See also Arbitration - Money Laundering, Corruption and Fraud and  Parallel State and Arbitral Procedures in International Arbitration. The issues The evidential relationship between contemporary  documentation, written testimony and oral testimony is a permanent challenge  to all arbitrators and counsel in an international arbitration. However  experienced the factual or expert witness may be, an oral witness has to be  prepared for his testimony and a witness statement has to be written, both  with legal help. The issues divide counsel and arbitrators, and there is a  need for a better understanding of what is right and wrong in the interaction  between written and oral evidence. Arbitration and Oral Evidence lays  out the issues in a transparent and easy-to-understand way. The authors Written by expert arbitrators and practitioners, some of  whom are affiliated with the ICC's Court of Arbitration, Arbitration and Oral  Evidence, approaches the problems of oral evidence from several points of  view, among them:    Oral evidence vs documentary evidence   Witness statements   Benefiting from oral testimony of expert witnesses   Counsel-witness relations   Taken together, these observations provide a comprehensive overview of the  problems and possible solutions.

Whether arbitration is only as good as the arbitrator is a question that has often been asked. Indeed, an arbitration procedure can be a quick and efficient means of dispute resolution that can save parties a lot of money compared to a court procedure. However, arbitral awards, unlike court judgements, are not subject to ordinary judicial remedies and there is no recourse available against an award which is substantially wrong. Therefore, anyone interested in international arbitration, whether experienced arbitrator or in-house counsel working with contracts and arbitration clauses, should read this compilation of expert views on thorny issues like:Clashes between arbitrator and litigants Arbitral discrimination under English and EU law The arbitrator s relation with third parties Confidentiality issues Rules of law vs. freedom of the arbitrator Invaluable companion for practitioners and scholars alike, this publication looks at the relationship between the qualities of the arbitrators and the arbitrators' work-products , namely the award and the arbitral process itself. The Institute of World Business Law s Dossiers is a series that has gained international prestige. The Dossiers are the outcome of the Institute s annual meetings, where experts from around the globe come together in a unique think tank to discuss salient issues of international arbitration.
