Parallel Proceedings in International Arbitration

Often times in International Arbitration, the same dispute results in parallel proceedings between a national court and an arbitral tribunal or multiple arbitral tribunal. These parallel proceedings have an undesirable effect of conflicting awards and a waste of resources due to duplicating of proceedings. This program features leading arbitration practitioners discussing practical actions which can be taken to avoid or mitigate such conflicting decisions. The panel will discuss the various doctrines, e.g. res judicata and lis pendens, and remedies available to parties as well as consolidation or joinder of proceedings when possible.
