Commercial Disputes

Remedies are vital in commercial litigation. Additionally, in commercial law, parties are usually free to choose the forum and law that will govern their disputes. This book aims to shine the spotlight on these issues and look to several new trends and developments emerging on procedural matters relating to dispute resolution. The discussions range freely over national, international, and EU legal dimensions, and the book also comes at an opportune time, with the post-Brexit jurisdiction landscape becoming more definable.

This edited volume presents contributions from highly expert and experienced academics and practitioners, collectively examining a broad range of areas relating to the complex and time-consuming issues of resolution and jurisdiction of commercial disputes. The book is divided into three parts: arbitration and ADR, jurisdiction and procedure, and choice of law. Key topics featured include summary procedures in London Maritime Arbitration, reformation of the Arbitration Act, challenges to jurisdiction, stay of proceedings, anti-suit injunctions, the EU-UK judicial space post-Brexit, the application of AI to commercial disputes, and choice of law agreements.

Written for lawyers and administrators not only in England and Wales but worldwide - especially Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India – the book is also valuable for specialist law libraries in Europe and the US, some specialist maritime law firms in the US, and some university libraries where maritime and shipping law are taught as specialist subjects.
