International Arbitrations: Dealing With Delay.
"Faster, cheaper and better" is not, unfortunately, every litigant's experience in obtaining and enforcing awards in international arbitration. So Mel Simburg of Simburg Ketter, the Seattle member of the International Business Law Consortium, has written "Delay and Sanctions in International Arbitration." Save this if you litigate abroad.
Simburg's guide is our kind of article by a fine lawyer. Blending scholarship with real lawyering, in 8 pages it (a) takes you through the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, the New York Convention of 1958 (on the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards), and the procedural rules of UNCITRAL, WIPO and ICDR (international AAA), and then (b) offers practical devices and strategies for moving arbitrations along, combating delay and the use of sanctions.
