Conflict of Interest in ADR

UK Supreme Court offers clarity on the duties of an arbitrator to disclose circumstances which may question impartiality
JURISDICTIONS

The decision of Halliburton v. Chubb in the UK Supreme Court brought long-awaited clarity about the duties of an arbitrator to make disclosure of circumstances which may give rise to justifiable doubts as to their impartiality.

Welcoming the guidance brought by the ruling, this BICBA briefing examined how the Court reached its conclusion and the impact of the decision on those involved in arbitration across the UK and Ireland’s different jurisdictions.

The event was chaired by Mr. Justice David Barniville, who is the judge in charge of the Commercial Division of the High Court in Ireland and is also the designated Arbitration Judge under the Arbitration Act of 2010.

Speakers Lydia Bunni, Barrister-at-Law at the Bar of Ireland and Andrew Singer QC considered this landmark decision, as well as the wider issues arising from conflicts in all forms of ADR.
