Introduction
Complex arbitrations are one of the most complicated issues in
the arena of international arbitration. The need to resolve complex
disputes that arise out of commercial transactions with multiple
contracts and multiple parties, on the one hand, and the consensual
nature of arbitration agreements, on the other hand, raise several
procedural and jurisdictional problems.
One of the topics of the ICC Young Arbitrators' Forum's
event that was held in Istanbul on 21 March 2019 focused on complex
arbitrations1. This article series summarize the
discussions that took place during that event.
The Reasons Underlying Adoption of the ICC Rules on Complex
Arbitrations
In 2012, the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC")
updated its arbitration rules ("ICC Rules") to regulate
complex arbitrations. The rules adopted in 2017 preserved the
perspective that had been adopted in 2012.
