In the fifth and final part of this series, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo examines the circumstances in which supervising courts across India, England, Singapore, and Australia will intervene in arbitral cost awards and the exceedingly high bar they set for doing so.
In Part-4 of this series, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo identifies the key factors that arbitral tribunals weigh, from party conduct and settlement offers to technologyadoption and third-party funding and examines the procedural dimension of when and how cost decisions are made.
In Part-III of this series, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo examines how the ICC, SIAC, and LCIA have each developed distinct — yet converging — frameworks for cost allocation. He also analyses the soft-law instruments that guide tribunals beyond institutional rules, including the ICC Commission’s empirical report on 676 arbitral awards and the CIArb Costs Guidelines.
In Part-II of this series, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo unpacks the four universally accepted principles governing cost assessment reasonableness, and three dimensions of proportionality and then examines the philosophical fault lines that divide international arbitration practice.
In this first part of a five-part series, Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo, Founding President of the Asian Institute of Alternate Dispute Resolution, examines what the term “costs” actually means in international arbitration law.
