Discussion Part I. Decision Making by Arbitrators: Phases and Mechanisms Decision-making by the Sole Arbitrator and by three (or more) members of the Tribunal. Dynamics. “The language of judicial decision is mainly the language of logic”. What are key factors of successful filing? Preliminary view of merits and draft award prior to the hearing: what are they based upon? Pre-hearing deliberations: what are factors that impact arbitrators’ collective decisions? Testing of personal hypothesis during the hearing: are examinations and cross-examinations likely to change arbitrators’ mind? Change of view on the merits during writing of the award: what is specific about the process? Is “peace of mind” regarding the decision taken a professional must-have in international arbitration?
Part II. To Be Persuasive is to Influence Decision Making What is storytelling in international arbitration and why a party representative needs to tell to the arbitrator “a story”, which is coherent, logical and credible? KYF Rule - Know Your Facts: why a party representative shoud be prepared to navigate the arbitrator through the written submission and bundles by referring to specific pages and exhibits? KYL Rule - Know Your Law: what are worst things to be done when presenting legal position and why a party representative should not just refer to the title of a legal act or even article number but provide an actual and relevant quote of the document? Contract Based Arguments v. Law Based Arguments: what shoud a case be based on and why matters of fact and matters of law are not to be confused? Know Your Arbitrator’s Background: why a party representative should take into account cultural identity, expectations and even potential bias of the arbitrator? Who is the right person to represent the party and what are criteria of the choice? Observing, analysing, reacting: why a party representative should be ready to change the tactics always staying polite and respectful? |
