Security for Costs in International Arbitration
This is the first and leading comprehensive guide to Security for Costs in International Arbitration, including commercial and investment arbitration. It provides a key resource for those considering, making, and ruling on applications for security for costs. It is the first and only work to consider the 40+ factors informing the discretion to award security for costs.
The author begins with an introduction and description of the security of costs controversy in international arbitration. They explain the developing approach of arbitral tribunals to applications for security for costs, referencing decisions published by ICC and ASA, statistics from LCIA, and decisions of the UK courts when they had the power to grant security for costs in international arbitration. The book features an analysis of the reasons given for restricting security for costs in international commercial arbitration to âexceptional circumstancesâ or similar.
The author conveys discretionary factors that courts and arbitral tribunals consider when evaluating applications for security for costs. Special considerations for investor-state arbitrations, the correct approach to exercising discretion, and the manner of making and resisting applications are covered. Readers will also find information on the appropriate orders to be made on applications and the consequences of those orders.
This book is written for all arbitration practitioners around the world, including arbitrators ruling on applications. It would be incidentally useful to litigation practitioners as it necessarily considers applications for security for costs in litigation.
