Gaëtan Verhoosel QC, Manish Aggarwal, Trey Childress, and Anton Chaevitch recently authored three chapters for Reflections on International Arbitration – Essays in Honour of Professor George Bermann, published by JURIS Legal Information.
Gaëtan Verhoosel QC and Manish Aggarwal wrote the chapter, “The Impact of Brexit on Investment Treaty Protection in the European Union”, which addresses the current state of intra-EU BITs and the compatibility of the pre-Brexit investment treaties with both EU law and explores the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community.
Trey Childress’ chapter, “The Use of Anti-Anti-Suit Injunctions in International Litigation”, analyses the law and policy behind anti-suit injunctions in order to understand the role that provisional measures play in international litigation and arbitration.
Anton Chaevitch authored a chapter, “The Three Paradigm Shifts of International Arbitration”. It argues that another paradigm is needed to unlock arbitration’s full potential: arbitration (very much including international commercial arbitration) should be thought of as playing a key role in the development and improvement of legal systems and the rule of law.
The Festschrift was put together to honour Professor George Bermann’s pivotal role in the development of arbitration. To mark his 75th birthday, leading practitioners have contributed chapters to form a collection of insights from the world’s leading thinkers on where we are and where we might go.
