Neilan International Co Ltd v Powerica Ltd Commercial Arbitration Petition No 416 of 2019 What are the practical implications of this case? In this decision, the court delineates the boundaries of the enquiry when considering if an award offends India’s public policy. This basis entails testing whether the award breaches the fundamental policy of Indian law and affronts basic notions of justice or morality. The judgment focuses on this limb, especially against objections to enforcement that sought a second look at matters already dealt with in the arbitral award. Under the New York Convention, the avenues to resist the enforcement of foreign awards in signatory states are exceptionally narrow, and the enforcing court’s role is confined to a limited, cursory check to see if any such objections are made out. In India, reliance on public policy to resist enforcement has been highly contentious, and is routinely invoked to attack enforcement proceedings, often as a vehicle for re-assessing the merits of the dispute. It addresses attempts to re-open matters already...

The Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, updated on 1 June 2021 (the Swiss Rules), govern—unless the parties agree otherwise—any arbitration begun on or after 1 June 2021 on the basis of an arbitration agreement where the clause refers to the Swiss Rules, or to the former rules of chambers or organisations that adopted the Swiss Rules or placed their proceedings under them. For commentary on the 2012 Swiss Rules, see: Swiss Rules arbitration—overview. A recurring element of institutional arbitration frameworks, including the Swiss Rules, is the institution’s involvement in setting and administering arbitration costs. Under the Swiss Rules, though, arbitral tribunals enjoy broader powers on costs than under several other prominent institutional regimes, such as those of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). This Practice Note addresses costs and security for costs under the Swiss Rules. A citation to the Swiss Arbitration Centre’s (the SAC’s) Guidelines for Arbitrators may assist on cost-related issues. Categories and determination of arbitration costs Under...

Arbitration clauses Arbitration clauses stipulate that disputes are resolved by a designated arbitral tribunal appointed for the purpose, and may feature in both domestic and cross‑border matters. Arbitration may proceed on an ad hoc footing—following a chosen set of rules, for example the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) Terms, and/or the applicable national arbitration statute—or be administered by an arbitral institution, ordinarily in accordance with that institution’s own procedural rules. A broad range of institutional rulebooks is available for incorporation into arbitration agreements; prominent options include, in particular, the International Chamber of Commerce’s ICC Rules and the London Court of International Arbitration’s LCIA Rules. By way of illustration, this Practice Note, applying the law of England and Wales, considers the LCIA’s recommended arbitration clause for future disputes arising, while noting that the points raised may equally bear on other institutional arbitration clauses...
