In his recent blog post, Phillip Landolt has explored Advocate General Capeta's opinion in the case of RFC Seraing v. FIFA et al. Philip delves into AG Capeta's expansive interpretation of the CJEU's ISU decision, highlighting her engagement with complex legal issues such as arbitration's voluntary nature and EU Member States' obligations under the NY Convention. Despite her thorough analysis, Philip critiques AG Capeta's stance on the NY Convention's applicability, arguing that her view on mandatory arbitration lacks convincing support. Philip emphasises the potential impact of AG Capeta's opinion on #internationalarbitration, urging caution in its application. He questions the absolutist approach to jurisdictional rights and the compatibility of AG Capeta's recommendations with established international #arbitration principles, particularly concerning the NY Convention. #sportsarbitration #disputeresolution https://lnkd.in/eByFqrr9

Eleanor Scogings has explored the enactment of the English Arbitration Act 2025 and its implications for #internationalarbitration at London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). Eleanor highlights how the 2025 Act modernises the Arbitration Act 1996, providing clarity on key issues and reinforcing London's status as a leading #arbitration hub. The Act introduces significant amendments, such as codifying arbitrators' duty of disclosure, empowering emergency arbitrators, and establishing a default rule for the governing law of arbitration agreements. These changes aim to enhance efficiency, uphold party autonomy, and ensure fairness in arbitration proceedings. The Act's provisions align with the LCIA Rules, supporting the institution's role in international arbitration. By addressing uncertainties and promoting cost-effective #disputeresolution, the 2025 Act strengthens the legislative framework for arbitrations in England & Wales and Northern Ireland.

📚 Meet the author of the #Greece National Report published in Supplement 135 to the ICCA International Handbook on Commercial Arbitration: Ioannis Vassardanis. The Report updates arbitral practice in that jurisdiction, noting that: “Greece modernized its international arbitration framework, through Law no. 5016/2023, by adopting the 2006 #UNCITRAL Model Law and introducing innovations to meet contemporary needs and international best practices. Greece provides a supportive legal environment for arbitration, with this modernization also sparking discussions about abolishing the dual system that distinguishes between domestic and international commercial arbitration in Greece.” The latest #ICCA supplement of National Reports and coverage of arbitral #law and practice in over 85 jurisdictions is available on Wolters Kluwer: International Arbitration & Mediation: https://lnkd.in/eXX454Wt. #InternationalArbitration | #ICCAPublications
