This month’s product of the month from the ICC Business Bookstore is the new Handbook of ICC Arbitration, a practical, rule-by-rule guide to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules of Arbitration.

 

The handbook serves both as a source book for experienced arbitration practitioners and a guide for lawyers experienced in international litigation rather than arbitration. It offers a comprehensive review of the ICC arbitration procedure from start to finish, making it a one-stop shop for information on arbitration.

 

Key features and benefits of the Handbook of ICC Arbitration:

 

• Explains both basic principles of the Rules of the ICC and provides in depth-analysis, making it ideal for both the experienced and new practitioner;

 

• Provides reference to many of the most important awards and cases that are referred to in ICC arbitration, including the most recent authorities, with direct quotations from those decisions;

 

• Chapters follow the ICC Rules of Arbitration, setting out the principles in plain English. The handbook is therefore easy to use, even if English is not your first language.

 

• Reflects both common and civil law in its analysis;

 

• Includes an essential selection of precedents including a request for arbitration, terms of reference and procedural orders;

 

• Preface by Dr Robert Briner, Chairman of the ICC International Court of Arbitration.
