WHY MAURITIUS? A National Court In Support Of International Arbitration

Avant Propos

These short notes have no academic pretentions. They do nothing more than narrate – "report" would be too pompous a word – some of the judgments of the Supreme Court of Mauritius in matters of international arbitration since the promulgation of the International Arbitration Act in 2009. They provide some background to the cases under examination and add certain comments to facilitate and ease the reading.

These notes are rather an expression of celebration. They are the brainwave of three young barristers of the Firm. They conceived, designed and wrote those notes. It is a testimony to the hopes and faith that our young barristers in Mauritius have in this new discipline of law which is opening up in their starting professional career. Our Mauritius Bar is teeming with such youthful energy and our Young Bar is growing up to see the world in a grain of sand.
