Shaparak Saleh will be part of a two-member panel discussing “Deference in Annulment and Enforcement Proceedings” during a colloquium on Deference in International Arbitration, co-hosted by Sciences Po and New York University’s Center for Transnational Litigation, Arbitration, and Commercial Law.

Shaparak will consider the topic from a French law perspective. She will explore both the deference (or lack thereof) of annulment and enforcement courts to arbitral tribunals and that of enforcement courts to the courts at the seat.

The responsibility to control awards is shared among multiple actors including arbitral tribunals and institutions, domestic courts at the seat, and recognition and enforcement courts. The overarching question is whether any of these decision makers should pay deference to previous determinations by a different decision maker.

The colloquium will be held in person at Sciences Po (Paris) on Monday 20 June from 9:00am to 12:30pm CEST.
