Ms. Kent was a part of the panel “Is London Catching up to New York? An examination of US arbitration law in light of the recent proposed amendments to the English Arbitration Act.”
The first part of the session was a debate focused on three of the proposed revisions in the English Arbitration Act: (i) arbitral power to make awards on summary bases; (ii) court powers in respect of non-parties; and (iii) judicial review of jurisdictional rulings by arbitrators.
The second part of the session was a discussion among the debaters and additional panelists, drawing in perspectives from Model Law jurisdictions as well as the US and England.
