商品簡介
"Few legal concepts in international arbitration are more indefinite in nature, dubious in scope and uncertain in inexistence than confidentiality," which lacks "conceptual uniformity and shows clear limitations," according to the author of this volume, who seeks to bring greater coherence to the issue through an analysis of the concept of confidentiality as reflected by the most important arbitration rules, national laws, other arbitration-related enactments, and practices of arbitral tribunals and domestic courts around the world. Five chapters define the concept and distinguish it from the concept of privacy, analyze confidentiality as a contractual creation that is only sporadically accepted as an implied matter, review the scope of confidentiality in arbitral practice, identify the main categories of persons bound by confidentiality of arbitration, and assess a system of measures aimed at protecting confidentiality and sanctioning confidentiality breaches in arbitration.
