Editorial

We commence this issue of Asian Dispute Review with an article in which Jeremy Nicholson QC discusses trends in construction dispute resolution over the next ten years, both in Hong Kong and in the wider East Asia region. Alvin Yeo SC and Smitha Menon then explore the recent review by the Indonesian government of its investor-State dispute settlement commitments in bilateral investment treaties. This is followed by an article by Sheila Ahuja which looks at recent developments in international arbitration in India, as well as a piece by Chad Catterwell and Catherine O’Keefe on multi-party and multi-contract disputes in light of ACICA’s updated Arbitration Rules. Our ‘In-House Counsel Focus’ article by The Hon Neil Brown QC provides an introduction to domain-name arbitration and the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.

A case note by Edward Alder discusses a decision by the High Court of Hong Kong which demonstrates the utility of applications for security and how this may assist enforcing  parties. Finally, Albert Monichino QC reviews Dr Fan Yang’s latest text, Foreign-Related Arbitration in China.
