This important book assesses, for the first time, the contours of an emerging transnational law of fact-finding that promises to greatly enhance the efficiency and reliability of this crucial arbitral procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e In his analysis, focusing on bases that reflect current (but fluid) transnational practice, the author assembles a viable \u003cem\u003elex evidentiae \u003c\/em\u003efrom an in-depth examination and synthesis of the following bodies of source material:  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epublished arbitration proceedings and awards;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe general framework of fact-finding issues as provided for under the arbitration acts of England and Wales, the United States, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, as well as under the Model Law;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efact-finding stipulations under UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as well as under various institutional rules;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esoft law (such as the IBA Rules, Prague Rules, ALI\/UNIDROIT Principles of Transnational Civil Procedure);\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebest practices as captured by legal commentary; and\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003einvestment arbitration proceedings, where many decisions and awards are nowadays publicly available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e In the course of the analysis, a comprehensive description and analysis of what fact-finding entails, including both gathering of facts and taking of evidence, is fully elaborated.  Given that it is an essential task of international arbitration proceedings to define the disagreements between the parties and seek to determine the truth, the international arbitration community must be able to rely on a robust, consistent, and predictable, albeit flexible and adaptive, set of fact-finding rules. Against this background, the present study not only provides a stocktaking of current practice but also makes a signal contribution to meeting the need for legal certainty and reliability in international arbitration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Bickmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9403518863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789403518862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kluwer Law International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Julian Bickmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437409251583,"sku":"9789403518862","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcc137eb-0b4f-4041-9214-6969cecb23be.jpg?v=1777161618","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fact-finding-in-international-arbitration-julian-bickmann-9789403518862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
