In Times of Uncertainty, Arbitration Makes Sense

handle is hein.journals/romabj14 and id is 187 raw text is: IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY, ARBITRATION MAKES SENSE IN VREMURI TULBURI, ARBITRAJUL ARE SENS Adrian IORDACHE, FCIArbl, Liana CERCEL, LLM (SciencesPo)2 ABSTRACT The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will place significant strain on national court systems for the foreseeable future. Despite significant progress being made by national courts in adopting technological advances, we argue that it is time that international arbitration is taken seriously as the first choice in dispute resolution for commercial contracts. Here, we briefly recap the principal arguments in favour of such approach, including flexibility and the protection of the New York Convention 1958, and further present recent examples of technology being used to promote the adoption of international arbitration in the case of existing contracts. KEYWORDS: COVID-19; international arbitration; New York Convention 1958; remote hearings; robotic process automation; sArb R EZUMAT Efectele pandemiei COVID-19 vor afecta functionarea activitatii judiciare pentru o perioada fndelungata. Tn ciuda progreselor importante facute de instantele nationale in adoptarea de noi tehnologii, pledam pentru oportunitatea arbitrajului international ca optiune predilecta in rezolvarea disputelor din contractele comerciale. Aici, trecem pe scurt in revista principalele argumente in favoarea unei astfel de abordari, inclusiv flexibilitatea si protectia Conventiei de la New York 1958, si prezentam in plus exemple recente de utilizare cu succes a tehnologiei pentru promovarea adoptarii arbitrajului international in cazul contractelor deja fncheiate. CUVINTE CHEIE: COVID-19; arbitrajul international; Conventia de la New York 1958; fnfatisari la distanta; automatizarea robotica a proceselor; sArb 1 Mr Adrian Iordache is Managing Partner of the Bucharest-based law firm Iordache Partners and principal Solicitor of Consortium Legal in London.
