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International Bar Association adopted the new IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration, which superseded the 1999 Rules.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.

Court found arbitrator’s jurisdiction could not be resuscitated after delivery of final award even when award was conditional – that parrot is no more!

The Singapore Court of Appeal found an arbitrator’s jurisdiction had come to an end and there was no implied reservation of jurisdiction in the conditional award which he had issued. In its judgment, the Court stepped through the “tells” of a final arbitral award and how an arbitrator may reserve their jurisdiction.

Ten years in a leaky boat: Lucky just to keep afloat

In 1982 Split Enz released its now famous single Six Months in a Leaky Boat being a reference to the time it took pioneers to sail to New Zealand (it had nothing at all to do with being an attack on Britain’s invasion of the Falkland Islands which caused the BBC to discourage airplay of the song in Britain during the Falklands War – it was recorded in January 1982, months before the Falklands invasion). It has also been suggested that the lyrics are a metaphor for a relationship that could not be, the need to put our differences behind us and that there is a world to explore after ’the ship-wreck’, and to keep on trying where there’s wind in our sails. Neil Finn’s lyrics and the sentiment embodied in the song provide a strikingly apposite segue into the relationship property story that follows.

New Zealand still rated as global leader for public sector transparency, honesty and integrity

Transparency International has just released the 2021 Corruption Perception Index (CPI). New Zealand has retained its joint number one ranking along with Denmark, as having one of the least corrupt public sectors in the world. This year Finland joins the top-slot as third equal.

New Zealand’s score remains a “clean” 88/100, which is great news. However, the global average of 43/100 has also not moved. It has now been stagnant for ten years in a row. Two-thirds of the countries have scored below 50, indicting serious corruption problems. Of them, 27 have obtained their lowest scores ever. The figures reveal a worrying standstill in all regions of the world in the fight against public sector corruption. A summary of some of the issues raised in the CPI is below. The full report and supporting data can be found here.
