In the first part of the workshop, attendees will be able to have a hands-on understanding of an arbitration delivered by the managing director and his team of the Parley Parsons law firm. After a brief description of what it is involved, a mock arbitration will be set followed by a Q/A session. In the second part, a presentation by Professor John Paterson will introduce the key features of the Energy Charter Treaty in the context of climate change and consider a number of recent arbitration cases which exemplify the current problems, which will also be followed by a Q/A session. Prospective students and attendees will be expected to have an in-depth exposure to the state of the art of both practitioners’ and academic understanding of arbitration issues.
