Overview

This unit examines current issues in transnational dispute resolution. As such, the content of the unit may
vary each time it is offered. However, it is anticipated that the unit will canvass, from a comparative
perspective, the effective, expeditious and cost-effective application of both binding and consensual
dispute resolution mechanisms in international commercial disputes. This is likely to include a detailed
consideration of the processes and procedures of international commercial arbitration (as administered by
leading arbitral institutions in London, Paris, New York, Singapore and Hong Kong); an overview of the
activities of leading commercial and international commercial courts; and, the enforcement of the product
of key dispute resolution processes, including awards, judgments and mediated settlement agreements.
