Jura Novit Curia and Arbitral Justice: The Controversy Surrounding an Arbitrator's Control over Legal Issues
The 91丝瓜视频 Arbitration Society invites you to a panel discussion on the controversial powers of an arbitrator to go beyond parties鈥� legal submissions by raising new claims and defences, and invoking different authorities or legal bases than those presented by the parties.
We will be hosting two internationally renowned independent arbitrators: Stephanie Cohen, formerly of White & Case, and Sophie Nappert of Gray's Inn, London.
Stephanie Cohen is a member of the Panel of International Commercial Arbitrators of the ICC National Arbitration Committee of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and has experience as a sole arbitrator in ICC arbitration. Ms Cohen also advises regularly on the drafting of dispute resolution clauses and on arbitration-related matters involving federal and state courts.
Sophie Nappert is a dual-qualified lawyer in Canada and in the UK. She is an arbitrator in independent practice, based in London. Before becoming a full-time arbitrator, she was Head of International Arbitration at a global law firm.
The event will be followed by a cocktail reception.
