IBA Rules on Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration
In 2010 the International Bar Association adopted the new IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration, which superseded the 1999 Rules. The revised Rules apply to all arbitrations in which the parties agree to apply the IBA Rules after 29 May 2010, whether as part of new arbitration agreements or in determining the rules of procedure in a pending or future arbitration.

The Trusts Act 2019: keeping it in the family
The Act contains provision for the private resolution of disputes through mediation and arbitration (or other non-juridical dispute resolution processes) where the matter would otherwise be headed for the courts. It is a further acknowledgement by Parliament that the court system is not the only, and may not be the most suitable, way for parties to resolve problems.
When reviewing the law of trusts, the Law Commission[1] compared the benefits of private dispute resolution with a court hearing. It said these included lower costs, quicker resolution, achieving finality, maintaining confidentiality and privacy, and being less adversarial. The last is possibly the most important when it comes to maintaining relationships. Given the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the courts’ caseloads, quicker resolution is also a significant benefit.
