Abstract

This article critiques the global concern that international commercial arbitration (ICA) is becoming increasingly ‘judicialized’, addressing the growing sentiment in ICA that arbitral proceedings are too lengthy, expensive, and complex. Assuming a contrarian perspective, it argues that attempts to address the cost and length of arbitration proceedings ought not to undermine the value of finely reasoned arbitral decisions grounded in law and justice. It also argues for a contextual assessment of ICA that extends beyond the debate over ‘judicialization’.

Using global illustrations and ICA developments in Australia as an initial guide, this article suggests that balancing party autonomy, accountability, efficiency, and fairness in ICA can help resolve these growing criticisms of ‘judicialization’. Ultimately, the reform of international arbitration should take place within a framework of ‘international best practice’ that is both analytical in nature and functional in operation. As such, ICA should not only be affordable and expeditious, it should serve as a legitimate and effective method of resolving international commercial disputes. In addition, it should balance the virtue of transparent proceedings against the need to respect the confidences of the parties.

The Singapore International Arbitration Centre stipulates, in rule 16.3, that arbitration will involve a preliminary case management meeting so as to ensure what procedures ‘will be most appropriate and efficient for the case’, see also www.siac.org.sg/our-rules/rules/siac-rules-2013.

22 Whilst Australia was quick in adopting the UNCITRAL Model Law, there still remain concerns that continued, ongoing legislative and policy reforms are needed. For example, Justice Croft recommends frequent, rolling reviews of the ‘UNCITRAL Rules’ governing ICA. See Croft, Justice C., ‘The Revised UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules of 2010: A Commentary’ (2010) 29 (1) The Arbitrator & Mediator 17 Google Scholar, at 28. Importantly, Nottage likewise urges rolling reviews of the International Arbitration Act and all related legislations that could influence ICA in Australia. See Nottage, L., ‘International Commercial Arbitration in Australia: What's New and What's Next?’ in Perram, N. (ed.), International Commercial Law and Arbitration: Perspectives (2013), 287 Google Scholar at 313. This view can be contrasted to the perspective of Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson, who focuses further on the power of case law to incrementally improve the effectiveness of ICA.

112 The agreement is ambiguous as to who constitutes the standing panel. According to it, the Joint Committee on Investment establishes and maintains a roster. However, it appears that the words ‘establish’ and ‘maintain’ do not include appointment of arbitrators to the roster. Art. 9.15(6) provides that the state parties to the Treaty select five arbitrators each, while 10 additional arbitrators who are not nationals of either party are chosen jointly. Thus, while the Joint Committee has oversight over the standing panel, China and Australia each intend to retain a high degree of control over the appointment of arbitrators. See L.
