Are the Model Law, various rules issued by the IBA and the formulation of best practices enough to meet the challenges ahead? Is more extensive codification required?

4 DAY 2 09:00-10:30 Enforcement of Arbitral Awards: Is the NY Convention Good for Another 25 Years? The NY Convention has proved to be an enormous international law success and has been widely adopted throughout the world. However, are changes needed to ensure its success going forward? Has it produced uniform standards worldwide? 10:30-11:00 Morning Refreshment Break 11:00-12:30 The Role of the Courts: An International Dialogue A dialogue between leading international judges on the proper role of the courts in international arbitration. 12:30-14:00 Conference Luncheon 14:00-15:30 Arbitration and State Parties: Where Next? Investor-state arbitration has been one of the fastest growing areas of international arbitration. However, there is currently a backlash against investment arbitration in some regions. Some states are opting out of parts of the system, and state hostility is increasing. In the Asia-Pacific region, by contrast, the number of BITS is growing. What is the future for investment arbitration in view of these conflicting trends? 15:30-16:00 Afternoon Refreshment Break 16:00-17:00 Roundtable: Redesigning International Arbitration in Asia If you were to devise a new system of international commercial dispute resolution for disputes involving parties from Asia without having regard to history, what would be its central features? 17:00 Closing Remarks Dr. Michael Moser, Chairman, HKIAC Other Confirmed Presenters/Commentators To Date* - Hon.

5 20 NOVEMBER 2010 Mock Arbitration Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Hong Kong Twenty years have passed since XANOC was formed by Shanghai Oil Xanadu Company and the State of Xanadu to work together under a petroleum exploitation contract. The oil is exhausted and it is time to end the project. But who is to pay for the decommissioning? Amazingly, no one thought to allocate the responsibility for closing off the oil exploration project in the contract, and now no one wants to pay US$100 million - the cost of decommissioning. We will watch the arbitration procedure unfold under ICC Rules. Can China Oil Company be drawn into the dispute, even though it never signed the contract? Will the US$35 million Letter of Credit be drawn? Will the chair of the tribunal be forced to step down because of a conflict? Given the diverging legal cultures in play, what kind of procedure can we expect to see? What becomes of the leaked documents when counsel tries to use them in another dispute? Who will be the victor in this multi-million dollar dispute? Will the resulting Award be enforceable if one tribunal member refuses to sign? And whose responsibility is it to decide all these questions? This conference will interest not only dispute resolution professionals -- arbitrators, legal counsel, expert witnesses and mediators -- but also business operators and in-house counsel from government and industry, looking to see first-hand how an ICC arbitration plays out in Hong Kong. Join us for this fascinating day which promises to be both instructive and entertaining!
