An Introduction to ICC Arbitration in Australia: Some Current Issues in International Arbitration
Abstract
It is now more fully appreciated than used to be the case that arbitration is an important and useful tool in dispute resolution. The former judicial hostility to arbitration needs to be discarded and a hospitable climate for arbitral resolution of disputes created. It used to be thought that difficult questions of law or complex questions of fact presented a sufficient reason for relieving a party from the obligation to abide by an arbitration clause .... That approach should be treated now as a relic of the past. The courts should be astute in ensuring that, where parties have agreed to submit their disputes to arbitration, they should be held to their bargain even if this may involve additional costs and expense.
