The relations between European civil procedure and arbitration have been an intensely debated topic among legal scholars and practitioners for a long time. Lately, the debate has been fuelled by:
- The upcoming decision of the European Court of Justice which will decide on the
availability of anti-suit injunctions for the protection of arbitral agreements (case C-185/07). On September 4, 2008 GA Kokott proposed in her conclusions not to permit such remedies in the European Judicial Area.
- Recent case law in several EC Member States addressing the arbitrability of EC antitrust law.
- In 2009, the European Commission will implement improvements to the Regulation
Brussels I. Last year, a preparative report, analyzing the application of the Regulation in the 25 Member States, was published. The non-binding Report, commonly known as the Heidelberg Report, proposes to delete the arbitration exception in article 1 no. 2 (d) in order to bring ancillary proceedings relating to arbitration under the scope of the Regulation Brussels I.
The conference will bring together the most highly regarded experts in the fields of arbitration and litigation. It will offer a unique opportunity to discuss the proposals of the Heidelberg Report, and the latest developments in European procedural law.
